The Dictionary is a very useful and effective tool that can bring many benefits in learning a language, mainly those that are fully transcribed in the same language we are learning.
In the case of learning the English language, the use of English-English Dictionaries is very useful because in addition to the multiple uses that can be given to this tool, we can also enrich our vocabulary with constant reading during the handling of it.
I particularly use the Oxford University Press Dictionary in its printed version, as well as the Cambridge Online Dictionary, both of which I consider to offer excellent content and information.
1.-Dictionaries offer us information related to the grammar and phonetics of each word, as well as give us the opportunity to make the correct and appropriate choice of the word to use, according to the explanation offered in each case.
2.- Additionally they offer preface and appendices that contain valuable information that facilitate the progress in the learning of the language, in addition to very important and useful tips.
Finally, I invite you to give priority to the use of this tool during the learning process and after it, because once you know and enjoy all the benefits it gives you it will be impossible to stop using it.

Greetings @janettyanez, certainly the use of a dictionary is essential in learning another language and especially English, personally dictionaries have helped me a lot for that purpose, but what has given me a significant learning are the online games that are in English, because I have had to learn to advance in these games, even this platform helps us to strengthen our reading in English at least.

Greetings friend @janettyanez, thank you very much for such a didactic article, the truth is that many times we do not value the importance of such important resources within the learning processes, perhaps because we assume it as something "basic", but as you say they have so much valuable information presented as a vital resource for learning a language
Greetings, have a beautiful week

Hi @janettyanez!
Very important the topic you present us, coincidentally my son since yesterday has been interested in looking up English words in the dictionary, despite being only 6 years old and it caught my attention, it is a very useful tool and we should encourage its use to expand the vocabulary. Greetings!

Greetings @janettyanez, the use of the dictionary is a fundamental tool in our training process, I remember using it in high school and then in college and you are absolutely right to indicate that there are many advantages that they offer us, but unfortunately there are times that we do not know how to take advantage of them. Thank you for sharing this information

Hello @janettyanez!
No doubt the dictionaries are very important when it's about studying a language or developing the vocabulary you already have from either your mother language or a learned one. Back when I was at school I used to like the English-English part, it always makes some complicated words that you can barely put in a sentence, as easy as any common word we use daily.
I have to mention that dictionaries are the best friends for the rappers too who spend time there trying to make the best verses by using words that rhyme well together so they usually have to use a dictionary.
Nice read, thanks for sharing!
