Quick Guide to Wordreference
Here you will find some links to external resources on how to use Wordreference for teaching, training, learning and development.
Wordreference is a useful tool for non-English speaking users.. In addition to the bilingual dictionaries, it provides a language forum, dedicated to relatively serious discussion about the meanings and translations of words, terms and expressions in many languages. It explains:
‘The WordReference is the largest repository of knowledge and advice about the English language, as well as a number of other languages. If you have a question about language usage, first search the hundreds of thousands of previous questions. If you still are unsure, then you can ask the question yourself. Native speakers from around the world will be happy to assist you.”
