The Good Dictionary

The Positive Dictionary contains hundreds of words with positive connotations. Every word is explained concisely in two lines, in the form of an action which can be practiced and in the form of a deeper thought or principle or motto which can be followed to become more positive and more successful in life. Positive words have tremendous power to make us more positive in life, to see a bright side in any negative situation and to inspire us to handle difficult situations.

Instant Translation Software

English and Arabic are today among the 6 official languages of the United Nations, with an estimated 322 and 175 millions of speakers around the world, respectively. Yet these two languages represent two distinct worlds, each having for the most part its own culture, religion and mentality. Tools such as VerbAce may help English speakers to access Arabic text (and vice versa) and thus to bridge some of the gap between East and West. VerbAce Research started in 2006 by students of Arabic origin as a linguistic research project, concerning morphological analysis of Arabic words and semantic theory. The VerbAce translation software came out as a result of this research. VerbAce Research is focused today on bringing its users high-quality translation software at an affordable price. You can download VerbAce-Pro for a free trial. CLICK HERE to DOWNLOAD NOW...

Dictionary
 
“Will I have to use a dictionary to read your book?" asked Mrs. Dodypol. "It depends," says I, "how much you used the dictionary before you read it.”  - Alexander Theroux, Darconville’s Cat

English Dictionaries

As a professional ESL teacher, you should use a few dictionaries. A dictionary is your daily tool. You should get into the habit of looking up words in more than one dictionary. And you will notice how differently these dictionaries explain similar meanings of words and phrases and similar concepts. Quite popular are multilingual dictionaries.
 

English Language Dictionaries

You can trace the history of English dictionaries from the 1500s to the present day. You can find out how words changed their meanings through centuries, how scholars argued over ideas of 'correct' spellings. You can also learn how new words came into the English language from other languages, and many more interesting historical phenomena that are related to English dictionaries.
