Written specially for students of American English, the dictionary contains almost 80,000 words and phrases, and covers all you need to know about American language and culture.

The Common Errors section will help you avoid common mistakes which many learners of English make. You can use it to help you with your homework, or to find out more about a word or phrase.

Videos
There are 10 videos on the “Longman Interactive American Dictionary”, each illustrating grammar and use in true-to-life situations. You can use the videos to extend your vocabulary, practise your listening comprehension and improve your written English. Each video has a script which scrolls down automatically as it plays, so you can follow the words as you hear them.

Exercises
To help you get the maximum from the “Longman Interactive American Dictionary”, we have included over 500 specially written exercises concentrating on each of the main sections.

There are exercises to:
– see how well you have understood the dictionary entries
– test your knowledge of vocabulary and grammar
– give you practice in using words from the Common Errors section correctly
– help you get the most out of the pictures
– help you get the most out of the videos
