small book, handy, easy to carry on. fast shipping

I teach English at a large Los Angeles-area high school. Most of the students entering my class are reading below grade level. I've bought several of these dictionaries over the past couple of years for students to use for vocabulary assignments and/or general reference. They have been, far and away, the most popular (and therefore, most used) of the dictionaries in the classroom. Students love the convenient size and easily understood definitions. Longman does an excellent job of making entries make sense. For instance, there are no lame defintions such as: "mysterious" means "full of mystery". Definitions can be a bit wordy, but they are written in basic English and students tend to understand them more readily than with other dictionaries. For comparison, the first entry for "mysterious" reads "mysterious events, behavior, or situations are difficult to explain or understand". Another feature which I like and no one has mentioned is the vinyl cover: durable, longer lasting than paperback covers of most inexpensive student dictionaries.Keep in mind, however, if you want a dictionary that contains every single word you might come across in your reading, the Handy Learner's word count is good, but limited. You might purchase a good collegiate dictionary (New World, New Oxford American, Longman's Advanced are all excellent choices) to supplement the shortcomings of the Handy Learner's. I have several in my classroom, but students tend to shy away from anything heavy and hardbound. I've had a great experience with the Handy Learner's and will continue to buy them for student use, as they are frequently "borrowed" (which, I guess, is a good thing as it means that kids actually want to keep them to use for themselves).

デザイン...まずデザインがかっこいい。やる気の出るデザインだ。アメ雑好きが好きそうな色使いである。つい持ち歩きたくなる。内容...今のところなかった単語はない。サイズ...本当にちょうどいい。ポケットにも無理矢理入れればなんとか入る。ダウンやジャケットのポケットなら難なく入るだろう。価格も安いので英英辞書に慣れるようになりたい人は、まずこれを買うべき。電子辞書の追加カートリッジを買うお金が無い人は、とりあえず本書を思案してはいかがだろう。

Me gustó que llegó muy rápido y en buen estado!!
