Learners are often at a loss when it comes to choosing which of the thousands of online dictionaries best suits their needs. Students should use a monolingual English dictionary whenever possible, but using a bilingual dictionary is not only useful but also at times essential, especially in the case of less advanced language learners. Below you will find some of the best British and American online dictionaries as well as picture dictionaries and sites pointing to over 2,500 multilingual online dictionaries for thousands of language pairs. Try as many as you can, for you are sure to find some you like!

See also EuroWordNet: a multilingual database with wordnets for several European languages (Dutch, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Czech and Estonian), MultiWordNet (Italian WordNet is strictly aligned with Princeton WordNet 1.6.), and BalkaNet (for six Balkan languages: Greek, Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Czech and Serbian).

An alphabetic version of WordNet 2.0 has now been prepared and is available here.

Parasaurus Rex, a powerful paraphrase finder, uses databases of approved translations to find alternative expressions for words and phrases in Arabic.

Lingo's system currently supports English to Arabic, Arabic to English, English to Chinese, and Chinese to English translations. More language combinations will be available in the future.

Jisyo means dictionary in Japanese

With PopJisyo site, users type in a URL for a site and it opens within a frame of PopJisyo. Then, while a user hovers the mouse over a word, a pop-up of the word and lexical support is provided. There are over 10 dictionaries to choose from including Japanese->English, Japanese-> German, English->Korean, and English->Websters English dictionary. This site works really well with reading the news in various languages. Double-clicking words you come across adds them to your 'word list' so it is easy to study them later.

D.Film MovieMaker

Create Short Story Movies!

Although not originally intended for language learning, D. Film Moviemaker is a Flash-based site which lets users create short movies. This is done by selecting the background, the sky, the characters, how the characters meet, their dialogue (which appears as text in cartoon bubbles), and finally background music. My experience with this site in the classroom has been extremely positive with students creating some original, creative short stories with this site. Excellent for task-based projects.

Rikai means 'understanding' in Japanese and is very similar to PopJisyo

In fact, they share many of the same functions. While PopJisyo used to be inferior to Rikai, over the past few years Rikai has become inferior and very distracting with dating ads, but it still remains an effective glossing tool between English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
