THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY FOR LEARNERS OF ENGLISH
The Best Reference for American English as a Second Language

American Heritage dictionaries are widely known for their clear definitions, expert usage guidance, and informative illustrations. This newly updated dictionary continues this tradition with a work specially designed for ESL students.

Here are just a few of the reasons why this is the best resource for American English as a second language:

• Authoritative entries define more than 40,000 words and phrases, with special attention to technology, medicine, science, and American culture. Recent additions include antivirus, co–payment, learning disability, and spam.
• Thousands of example sentences show how words are used in context, while nearly 100 usage notes provide clear advice on the language problems English learners face every day. In addition, numerous synonym and word–building notes help students build an expanded vocabulary.
• Easy–to–use alphabetic pronunciation system prepares students for using other American English dictionaries.
• An expanded reference and study section provides useful information for students at all levels, including an extensive punctuation and style guide, help with forms of address, and lists of numbers, pronouns, irregular verbs, and cities and countries of the world.
