Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 8th Edition

Improve your English language skills with the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (OALD). The OALD is a world best-seller and is now available for Kindle. By setting it as your default dictionary on your Kindle e-book reader (2nd generation or newer only) or Kindle iOS app, you will be able to look up words in the dictionary while reading another book (other versions of Kindle, including the Kindle Fire, do not support this feature at this time).

The version of the OALD for Kindle has been developed by the same editors from Oxford University Press who created the printed dictionary, working together with Paragon Software, a leading software developer for mobile devices. This dictionary, written for learners of English, offers a wealth of features to enhance your understanding of the language.

With 184,500 words, phrases, and meanings explained clearly, the OALD provides easy-to-understand explanations using a 3,000-word defining vocabulary. The Oxford 3,000 keyword entries help you learn the most important words in English, and you can look up over 57,000 synonyms and opposites. The dictionary also highlights over 83,000 collocations (words that go together) to help you learn words in their natural context.

The OALD makes it easy to identify the Academic Word List words, as they are all labelled. Additionally, the dictionary provides notes that give extra help in difficult areas, such as the differences between similar words, tricky points of grammar, or British and American usage.

To keep you up-to-date with today's vocabulary and usage, the OALD includes 1,000 new words and meanings. It also features 1,300 words illustrated in groups to build your topic vocabulary, and provides access to over 95,000 extra example sentences.

With the OALD, you can study all verb forms and word origins, helping you gain a deeper understanding of the English language. The dictionary also includes information about British and American culture, providing insights into the cultural context of the language.

Improve your English language skills with the comprehensive and user-friendly Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Whether you're reading on your Kindle or using the app, this powerful tool will help you understand what words mean, learn how to say them, and know how to use them effectively.
