TIPS FOR ENGLISH STUDENTS By Professor Denise Salum

Hi everyone,

First, I would like to share with you some good dictionaries that may help you a lot to learn English. They can be accessed on internet or you may download the apps.

I am attaching a PDF file with a tutorial to help you use them. (see below)

The first one is a monoligual dictionary that can be Macmillan online dictionary / the free dictionary or any other you prefer.

https://www.macmillandictionary.com/

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/

Second, use a Thesaurus dictionary to find synonyms or antonyms which may help you faster to understand a word. (check the tutorial)

https://www.thesaurus.com/

Finally, after searching for a word, try to use it in an example that is relevant to you.

I used the word HUGE in the tutorial. In the Thesaurus dictionary, one of the synonyms (similar word) is ENORMOUS

Making an example for me: Brazil is a HUGE country (very, very big/ enormous).

This is my first tip. Tell me if the tutorial is easy to understand.

A great rest to everyone.

Cheers,

Denise Salum
