Dictionaries

Hi ,I also have a Besta, find it very useful and easy. But of course it also nto cheap. Anyway this is just more home use as in school not allow and like I said not cheap, later my ds might lost it. Still for school, you need a dictionary, we bought a Collin dictonary which comes with a CD so you can also listen to the pronounciation, I do know some websites also have this function.

Hi, MoonFlower. Which Besta model did you get? There are so many and it ranges from $100 to $800!
And which Collin dictionary did you get? We have a Oxford Primary Dictorary but found that we cannot find some words. Thanks. -
Sorry for late reply,
Mine is CD -618 pro. i think no longer selling this model. For my ds he brings the oxford blue small but not those pocket size for school. He leaves it in his locker. -
Thanks for the Besta model. And you are right, they dont seem to have this model now. Will check around and see which one is more appropriate. Thanks.

As for Chinese dictionary, I use Besta e-dict and also one more printed version. Need to go home to check title. -
Sorry I took so long to reply. The printed/hard copy Chinese dict DH and I got for our DD is called "Concise Eng-Chi/Chi-Eng Dictionary", published by Oxford University Press. It’s a softcover book with a bright red waterproof book jacket. It’s not too small or too big and the weight is also acceptable. I think we bought it at a discount at the bookstore near the factory outlet shop at Harbour Front. It cost less than $20.

You might want to consider getting a Thesaurus too. It helps #2 in finding words for his compo writing at P2.
