The book immediately offers the reader useful information about the most frequently used words in the English language by means of one to three blue diamonds printed next to them. At the end of the paper dictionary you'll find a list of these most used words for you to check your level of knowledge. Very interesting are the last thirty pages where you can study useful phrases to utilize in different situations, such as "essay writing," "giving presentations," "the telephone," "correspondence," and "job applications."
By running the software, you'll find out that by typing in a word in the searching path, you not only get its meaning but also an extra, i.e. the "full text" icon. By clicking on this icon, you have access to different voices, from the real examples taken from the "Bank of English" - and sometimes you get hundreds of them - to the word's synonyms and antonyms, even if this is not the case for all the entries. Sorry the entries don't have IPA symbols but just some loudspeaker icons which let you hear the pronunciation of the singular, the plural, the -ing form, and the past form. The presence of the IPA symbols would have been useful. That's why I gave this product only four stars.
To conclude, I recommend this dictionary to those who are interested in the real usage of the English words, for among the real English examples they'll find what they are looking for, for sure!
