"Excellent beginner's dictionary....It has excellent sentences and doesn't use a lot of big words to define other words, nor does it give circular definitions (defining cat as an animal and an animal as a cat) but it does go into grammatical terms and usage notes that might be confusing if not properly learned. It's the first dictionary that allows me to get a full understanding of a word without making me chase through twenty other words." Joanna, Los Angeles, CA.

About the Author
Through a collaborative initiative, Collins COBUILD and Heinle are co-publishing a dynamic new line of learner's dictionaries offering unparalleled pedagogy and learners' resources. The first Collins COBUILD dictionary was published in 1987, thanks in part to John Sinclair, one of the very first modern corpus linguists who personally oversaw the creation of the Bank of English. Every COBUILD dictionary is based on the Bank of English, a huge electronic database of both written and spoken language, which today contains over 650 million words.

Dictionary Review
By 1nana1
I have introduced this dictionary to my students and they immediately noticed the BLUE entries for every word. It sets off the word and makes it easy to find.

Dictionary
By Willie Maye Armstrong
This is one of the world's best dictionaries for young under educated adults that I have ever seen. The students in the correctional facility where I am employed as a learning consultant love working with it. The CD allows those students who enjoy working on the computer to test their knowledge by engaging in the activities. Love the product so much that my employer is placing an order for a number of the dictionaries for use by the students.
