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! (:

See you around!
Visuwords is a great dictionary! It gives you a whole "net" of related words.
Hi Gladys! I´m Verónica G. Although I might be repetitive, I think that Visuwords is an excellent choice, especially for visual learners. This dictionary could be used for enhancing writing skills as well. It has lots of connected words and related expressions. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hello everyone!
Wow... visuwords is amazing! I think I´m very visual so, it is an excellent tool for remembering vocabulary and making associations.
Thanks for sharing it,
See you!!

Hi there!
Although all these dictionaries are very useful, I vote for visuwords. The complexity of maps about meaning and associations with other words and concepts you can visualize is amazing. Maps are great because they let us scaffold knowledge and activate our schemata. I´m a visual learner so I can take advantage of it.
Thanks a lot.
