In the course of time advances in science and technology drive the progress of languages. We use dictionaries to learn new words, to look up their meanings and to learn their correct writing and pronunciation in our own language and any foreign language learning. A dictionary is an essential part of a foreign language learning journey and there are different types of dictionaries.
As you know, by the development of technology dictionaries have gone beyond a book form and turned into a tool that everyone can easily access by a phone or a computer. Almost all dictionaries considered the most useful are now available online. For this reason, the websites of dictionaries will be listed below.
