learner's dictionary
Simplified word reference
A learner's dictionary is a dictionary designed for people studying a language that isn't their native tongue.
Unlike standard dictionaries, learner's dictionaries use simplified defining vocabularies, include more usage examples, and explain grammatical patterns explicitly: The learner's dictionary showed that "suggest" takes a gerund, not an infinitive.
They prioritize common words and practical communication over comprehensive coverage.
