Oxford Collocations Dictionary New Edition

This dictionary is really helpful for getting it right when you are not sure about how to combine words to write or speak idiomatic English. As a non-native speaker I often find myself wondering about what word comes before or next after a preposition, a verb, an adverb or a noun. I have a good command of English but there are times when I have no clue about what word or grammatical construction to use in a given context. That is when this dictionary comes into play. It provides plenty of examples of contexts where a word or set words or expressions are to be used to compose sentences in standard, idiomatic English. A true lifesaver for non-native speakers to write according to the usual manner of expression in English.

Great dictionary with complete information about words that are combined with others in a natural correct way for sounding more native and fluently.It comes with a CD-ROM to practice the whole mixed words.

So far I love this book. I subtracted one star because there is no CD-ROM come with this book.

I love this book. It's very useful and easy to use dictionary that provides valuable help especially when trying to express your thoughts more native-speaker-like. The CD-ROM makes the dictionary portable as you can take it everywhere with your laptop. Also many excersises can significantly improve your English level. I definitely recommend this book to every student of English.

When I write my idea in English, I use this dictionary a lot. It contains many good phrases. Thanks for the Oxford.

I love this dictionarty! It helps me a lot with the learning process !

I love this dictionary because it is word specific every dictionary does not necessarily carry the specific meaning of a word weather in the noun, verb, or adjective form. In my assessment, I find this one to be off the chart.

very useful. I often use it when I drafting. Because I am bilingual, this dictionary help me revise my writing just like a local!
