A Truly Beginner's Dictionary,
By Shu Ping "ESL Book Review" (Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginner's Dictionary of American English Usage, Second Edition (Paperback)
Many dictionaries claim to contain beginner vocabulary, but include far too many words, as well as many words that are well into the intermediate and even advanced level. This dictionary contains a truly beginner's vocabulary, in volume and selection. - ESL Book Review
