This dictionary contains the essential words and phrases needed for everyday communication by learners of English and information on how these words and phrases are commonly used. It builds on the Easier English Basic Dictionary and is especially useful for intermediate learners of all ages who are expanding their vocabulary and knowledge of English.

When several words seem to have almost the same meaning, how do you choose the right word so that you express exactly what you want to?

Anyone who wants to write clear and accurate English, using the correct word in a particular context, will find this book helpful, and a useful companion to the Easier English Basic Dictionary.

This dictionary contains the most frequently used words in English and provides the basic vocabulary needed for everyday communication by anyone starting to learn the language.
