Some "different" dictionaries

As we turn into the discussion of how to help our students acquire lexis, today I'd like to invite you to look into three online (free) dictionaries which I believe are rather different from what you might be familiar with:

How do you think these resources might be integrated into the EFL lesson? Share your ideas by posting a comment to this entry!

See you around!

These "new" and "different" dictionaries are great!!!! Personally, the most useful is the visual one... it is indeed pritty similar to the type of work I do for my own study of vocabulary!!!

Great mindmaping strategy!!!

Love it.

Hi people!
It's true, these dictionaries are wonderful!
There's always a right dictionary for each of us.
It's like choosing a t-shirt. you have to figure out which one fits you best ;)

By the way, I'm posting here the link to the dictionary I told you today of our "Lunfardo."
Hope it's of help! (:

Visuwords is a great dictionary! It gives you a whole "net" of related words.
