Do you often translate from English into your native language?

I usually do it to check my sentences. If Google Translate translates them into my native language correctly then other people will understand me too. :D

@@amazirlahmouz7798 That's totally normal. You need some time to transition from translating to understanding everything you read in English. Give it time. I'm learning Dutch, and after a year of studies, I still translate Dutch words into English, and it's going to continue for a while.

My dear teacher, I recently compared three dictionaries, which are Oxford, Longman and Macmillan, to find out what is the easiest and simple to explain, and I found that Macmillan is the easiest and simple.

Could you tell me please if you use the paper version of Cambridge dictionary? Does it have exactly the same content including all the idioms and phrases + words???

Hi,I am looking for a dictionary that defines the meaning of synonym words like wonderful stuning perfect fantastic..?

@LadyGiraffeEnglish

Жыл бұрын

If a word has any direct synonyms, any dictionary will probably show them. Sometimes, you'll get a list of more loose synonyms and their meanings, like here: www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/perfect (scroll down to look at the thesaurus).

I'm looking for a dictionary right now... I'm studying to be a teacher of English and I don't know if I should buy the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English or the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Which one do you recommend? Thank you!

@LadyGiraffeEnglish

Do you need a dictionary for yourself or to explain the meaning of new vocabulary to students? A learner's dictionary is probably better for the latter, but any dictionary from a major publishing company should be fine.

Good job with using a monolingual dictionary! 👍🏻 With practice, it will become easier not to translate. Translation is not a bad thing, though, and I'm relying on translation most of the time in my third language (I'm far from the intermediate level yet). You'll get there. 🙂
