5.0 out of 5 stars The tables are turned, now the cd is MASSIVE
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2009
Verified Purchase
At first when I saw the dictionary I said to myself "ah, it's the same thing, just some different colors, and some collocations boxes". As I had the first edition (CALD 1), I was confused because this dictionary has 300 pages (1800 total pages) more than the other I had (1st ed, 1500 total pages). Yet, it lacked some vital information from their previous CALD, the STUDY-GUIDE and some extras, I asked myself how come???

Guess what they've done? They removed the whole STUDY-GUIDE from the older version!! I was like "What?????"

However, when I started browsing the cd I discovered that, to my surprise, the study-guide was included in the CD-ROM!! At the same time, they included about 400 new pages in this (paper) dictionary amounting to 1800 pages. Smart manoeuvre from Cambridge mates!!

"What sets this dictionary apart from the others?"" you might be asking yourself... Now for the first time, the CD-ROM is what takes center stage! It is JAM PACKED with exercises, extras, tests for CAE, CPE, and so forth.

The layout of the 1st and 2nd editions (meaning colors) is better. This one looks more serious as it's mostly black bold font. The color of the software (background) is yelow/green something that I didn't undestand why, it looks like the Brazilian flag, lol. It's pretty weird that this dictionary actually looks thinner than the previous editions (at least in my opinion).

Cambridge has set the stage for a new model of dictionaries, soon others will follow suit, and Cambridge will have a harder mission of having to out-do themselves. It'll be a tough battle!

It was a dangerous move as you can probably find the cd on the net somewhere. Guys, BUY it, it's worth it, even if used, it doesn't matter as long as you buy it.

*GOSH, an even better dictionary has come! It's the longman contemporary english dictionary. It comes not with a cd but guess what? A DVD!! then? Then, it will have wayyyy more things on it. Actually, it's a monster tool once it has a kind of collocation dictionary, expressions dicionary, listening, tests and many other things at once! I think Cambridge has been left behind now. However, price wise, they "reach" different publics. I would strongly recommend the Longman one to teachers while the cambridge for students.

This is a superior dictionary, and apparently out of print, so I was so grateful to get it at a decent price. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it. Thank you to the seller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, my child enjoys looking up words!!!

My 11 year old has dreaded looking up words in the dictionary, but with the CD-ROM and simple explanations, he no longer needs to be told to look things up. The only thing now, is making sure he learns the US pronunciation of words. He picks whichever one sounds better to him, lol! Great buy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate for many but not comprehensive enough for some
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2010
Verified Purchase
I am satisfied with it but it is not as comprehensive as I would like. The other day, I saw the word "dolerite" in a magazine I was reading, but the dictionary didn't have it. "Khmer" is the official language of Cambodia and the dictionary doesn't have it either. I know this kind of dictionaries is not meant to be very comprehensive, so I can't say anything bad about this dictionary. But if you read many technical and other so-called high-level English books, you may want to look for more comprehensive dictionary.
This dictionary also lacks some features other dictionaries have. For example, a Longman dictionary shows if a word is more likely to be used in spoken language than in writing, and if a word is more often used in writing, what word is used instead in spoken language. It also shows slight differences in meaning among similar words with examples. Of course, this dictionary has features other dictionaries do not have, such as mistakes English learners are likely to make when using the word.
Overall, I am satisfied with this dictionary and the CD that comes with it. I will continue to grab this one first whenever I need to look something up.

Correct pronunciation of words has always been a problem for me. Not anymore, with Cambridge all I've got to do is enter the word and click the US audio icon to hear the correct pronunciation. This is a great tool for anyone, and especial for people wanting to learn English.

Este diccionario de definiciones en inglés, aunque algo voluminoso, es muy completo. Aunque hay muchos diccionarios on-line, recomiendo su compra a aquellas personas que estudien en inglés y a las que les gusta el papel o no disponen de internet. Es una buena guía.

La troisième édition est vraiment complète et facile à utiliser, avec plein de rubriques supplémentaires, exercices, échantillon d'examens et quiz avec des images. J'ai aussi acheté la quatrième édition qui a une mise en page peut-être un peu plus claire mais qui a le défaut suivant: si on souhaite, comme je le fais avec la troisième édition, avoir le son du mot dès sa sélection, avec la quatrième édition, il faut que le disque soit inséré dans le lecteur de CD ROM. Peu pratique. De plus, dans la 4ème édition, la plupart des rubriques ont disparu.
Je continue à utiliser la 3ème.

Indiscutibile il contenuto (siamo ad alti livelli), ma soprattutto inprescindibile compendio del "Longman dictionary of contemporary English".
Questi due tomi garantiscono un vero aiuto all'apprendimento sia dei vocaboli che della lingua Inglese, dalla scuola media superiore in poi.

Non potrei neanche pensare di consigliare altro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gutes Buch!
Reviewed in Germany on August 24, 2011
Verified Purchase
Bewertet wird hier die "Third Edition" aus dem Jahr 2010 (1699 Seiten).

Ich habe mir dieses Dictionary auf Empfehlung meines Englisch-Dozenten hin gekauft und bin damit auch sehr zufrieden. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur umfangreich, sondern es enthält außerdem etliche Kästen mit nützlichen Erklärungen (common mistake; other ways of saying ...; word partners for ...), ungefähr in der Mitte 25 farbige Seiten mit Abbildungen zu "alltäglichen" Dingen plus 7 Seiten Karten von der Erde sowie einen 100 Seiten starken Anhang, u. a. mit "extra help pages" (z. B. "common mistakes", "letter writing", "writing essays"). Darüber hinaus ist bei den Wörtern neben der Aussprache auch noch die Betonung angegeben. Abgerundet wird dieses Lehrwerk schließlich durch die beiliegende CD-ROM.
