The American Heritage® Spanish Dictionary: Spanish/English, Inglés/Español

Website Review by: Angeles    


We all know about Yahoo, right? One day, trying to find good information to translate some words from Spanish, I found this
English-Spanish (and Spanish-English!) online dictionary. You can find it here: http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dict_en_es/;_ylt=AlfXU3aOk35KY__lV489gnz9s8sF
Yes, it's free and after having used it for some time, together wirh www.wordreference.com, it is one of the best. Once you enter the site, you'll find general information about Spanish language: a Guide in English about Spanish language and a Guide in Spanish about English language. Both contain sections like Pronounciation, Grammar or Irregular Verbs.
Every time you type a word, you'll be given several options to chose from, as maybe the word you typed has several meanings, in case you prefer to use for example, a plural, or its adjective, or perhaps its verbal form. Ok, so once you click on the word, it takes you to its corresponding translation or translations, idioms, uses, etc, but one of the most useful things, and of course, one of the things that makes the difference is that you can also listen to any word pronounciation. You just have to click on the "sound icon" close to the word. Being a native Spanish speaker and English learner, believe me, this is quite useful!
There is something else not easy to find over there: After having typed a concrete word, in case that word exits in both languages, you'll be given both options: all English and Spanish matches at the same time. Good, isn't it? And you can always surf next or previous word, according to the one you typed.
If you have already visited this site, you'll have found there is some publicity and other ads, but in the end, I think this online dictionary offers a very good service to anyone willing to learn more about English / Spanish languages.
