Longman Active Study Dictionary of English

This dictionary aims to actively encourage intermediate students to practise both written and spoken English. It has a built-in workbook, study notes and exercises designed to meet every possible language requirement, inviting the student to consider new grammar points as they occur. The notes and grammar points are based on known areas of student difficulty recorded on the Longman / Birkbeck "Learners' English". The Longman Definition Vocabulary of 2000 words aims to make the meanings easy to understand. Spelling notes help with various spelling irregularities and an IPA pronunciation guide gives full coverage of both American and British English. Also included are 16 pages of colour illustrations with exercises.
