Concise Oxford English Dictionary 11th

This is an excellent British English dictionary known for its accurate and to-the-point definitions and derivations, but it does not have example sentences. It is a great reference to have on your hard disk drive for quick access whenever you need to look up a word.

This software has a full screen display (so you can easily compare definitions to determine which one was intended) and it fully installs to your hard drive for instant access whenever you need it.

There is a help file which explains who to use the software and help for the contents of the dictionary which is actually entire pages from front of the dictionary!

The main entries are pronounced and the sound files also install to your hard drive for instant access.

We highly recommend this product!
