Best for students AND teachers!.......2006-10-15
I teach ESL to adults and this dictionary is the best! It defines words and phrases in complete sentences, indicates which words are the most used, and distinguishes between American and British English, which helps when someone learned English in Europe. I highly recommend it for both students and teachers. (But get the hardcover; you'll quickly wear out the paperback!)
The BEST that YOUR MONEY CAN GET. 5 stars out of 5. .......2006-06-26
PROS
- Each word entry has an example. It is drawn from Collins' bank of English with 2.5
billions of real Englis words. This help the readers to use the word in natural expression
and grammatically correct. So far, it's the only dictionary that offers this useful feature.
It has saved me from hours of frustration while writing technical documents and
correspondence.
- You get two dictionaries for the price of one! It comes with a Dictionary CD rom
containing the printed copy of the dictionary TOGETHER WITH pronunciation and 5 millions
words of real English. This means you can look up the words, pronunciation and examples very
quickly. This is a unique offer.
- It is well organized. Each word entry is printed in blue. Its definition is in black.
- The price is unbeatable for such a good and comprehensive dictionary.
CONS
Once in a while, there is a word with unclear definition. At that time I have to consult
another dictionary. But after that I have to come back to Collins dictionary for examples.
To sum up, this is the BEST that YOUR MONEY CAN GET. I wish I had it while I was in school.
It would have helped me understand my lessons quicker. Every high school and college student
should have one copy.

HAVE KIDS?.......2006-02-25
Then you must own this dictionary. It helped my 12 year old son immensely. With the help of this dictionary, he actually understood the vocabulary words he was assigned, could use them correctly in sentences as well as in converstation. Sorry Websters, this is a friendly, usable dictionary for students of all ages.

Excellent beginners, but watch out for the addl. info.......2003-05-10
It has excellent sentences and doesn't use a lot of big words to define other words, nor does it give circular definitions (defining cat as an animal and an animal as a cat) but it does go into grammatical terms and usage notes that might be confusing if not properly learned. It's the first dictionary (besides the Webster's New World Dictionary of Basic American English, which is absolutely invaluable) that allows me to get a full understanding of a word without making me chase through twenty other words. It'd be 5 stars if it just didn't go into grammatical terms, but even those have to be understood to know how to use the word. I highly highly recommend it.

Customer Reviews:
Endlessly fascinating!.......2005-03-09
I bought this book for my ESL teacher training course, but I'd recommend it to anyone interested in language and usage. Built up from a database of millions of examples of language in context, Collins Cobuild lists every usage of the most common words in English, both American and British, from slang to literary and formal usage. Much more than a mere dictionary, Collins Cobuild focuses on how the word is used in the real world. A great companion to a traditional dictionary.
Dictionary with wry sense of humour lacks rare words.......2004-11-09
Straight up - i love this dictionary for the following reasons:
1. it defines words in context, not rigidly. ie, the definition of the word 'fertile' is not laid out as "when something is x" but as "something is fertile when x". the definitions actually read nicely.
2. the example sentences have obviously been selected or scripted with a sense of humour! i really, really enjoy reading them. they sometimes go out of the way to make the example sentences interesting. for example, in the entry for "feminine"
- I've always been attracted to very feminine women who are not overpowering, the delicate English-rose type.
HAHAAA!
Ok. what i don't like so much about this dictionary is the small number of words that are new to me. this is not to say that i know lots of words - i'm disappointed that this dictionary lacks in rare words, or words more specific to special fields (law, biology, etc). especially since it is an Advanced Learner's dictionary, i expect it to have rare and difficult words, you know... more erm... i'd just like to to be more verbose. (HAHA)
i complain about this because the dictionary is such a wonderful read that it actually encourages people to read it as a book, for entertainment and education. i wish it would have more rare words for me to learn. since it is already such an excellent learning tool.
One of a kind Dictionary!.......2004-08-19
As a learner of English language, this has been a dream dictionary for me. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be able to have my hands on this one of a kind dictionary. This is the best dictionary an ESL can buy and will never be looking back again to other dictionaries! I can bet my house at this claim!
Key Features:
- Example sentences are taken from real resources (magazines, newspapers, transcripts, etc). Too many examples for an each entry.
- Clear definitions.
Each definition is composed of one or two sentences. They are that long. One easly can grasp the meaning of a word without looking at its example sentences.
- Very updated.
You'll find countless phrases, expressions, idioms, slang and phrasal verbs alongside their clear and easy to grasp definitions and examples.
- Frequency of words.
Each word is rated by its frequency of usage by native spakers. Most frequent word starts from rating (*****) to the least one(*). This feature will demonstrate to English learners that which word is more important to learn or which is not. A very helpful option.
- Each entry is defined by its nature like slang, informal, offensive, rude, very rude, medical, spoken, technical, written..etc. This feature will demonstrate how one can or can't use the word in certain situations.
- This is basically an advanced dictionary. It'll be very helpful for those learners who have already cleared their high intermediate level and can read and understand simple English definitions and example sentences.
In short, It's like a book. You can read the whole dictionary for fun, won't be tired!!
THROW AWAY OTHERS.......2004-02-11
Great dictionary ! It explains in an incredibly simple way even the most complex words! Buy it and you will not regret it. Feel free to throw away your other dictionaries.
The best.......2004-01-12
I have been using the dictionary since it first came out. The best dictionary ever.

Practical and Essential for ESL students.......2006-03-11
Being an ESL student myself, I know how hard it is to become familiar with idioms. How to use them, when to use them, and why... This book gives you practical answers on the use of British and American English idioms. It sometimes even gives some background information. It is easy to use and certainly worth your money!
