These new editions in the Oxford Colour Dictionary Plus range are effective and practical reference tools for students, adult learners or travellers. They are especially user-friendly, with a colourful design that makes it easy to find the word you are looking for quickly. They also have usage notes, giving you help with tricky and frequently occurring words, verb lists and grammar notes. These editions also see a completely refreshed and up-to-date centre section. The main focus of this section is to help you build your vocabulary. We have identified the words you most need to know, and they are laid out clearly for you here; you will also find them marked with a handy key symbol in the A–Z text of the dictionary. We also include word games so that you can practise your dictionary skills and learn vocabulary while having fun. The centre section also contains a calendar of holidays and festivals and a brand new A–Z guide to life and culture – ideal for the traveller and those learning about life in a foreign country.
