Do you often translate from English into your native language?

I usually do it to check my sentences. If Google Translate translates them into my native language correctly then other people will understand me too. :D

My dear teacher, I recently compared three dictionaries, which are Oxford, Longman and Macmillan, to find out what is the easiest and simple to explain, and I found that Macmillan is the easiest and simple.

@@amazirlahmouz7798 That's totally normal. You need some time to transition from translating to understanding everything you read in English. Give it time. I'm learning Dutch, and after a year of studies, I still translate Dutch words into English, and it's going to continue for a while.

If a word has any direct synonyms, any dictionary will probably show them. Sometimes, you'll get a list of more loose synonyms and their meanings, like here: www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/perfect (scroll down to look at the thesaurus).

Good job with using a monolingual dictionary! 👍🏻 With practice, it will become easier not to translate. Translation is not a bad thing, though, and I'm relying on translation most of the time in my third language (I'm far from the intermediate level yet). You'll get there. 🙂

Do you need a dictionary for yourself or to explain the meaning of new vocabulary to students? A learner's dictionary is probably better for the latter, but any dictionary from a major publishing company should be fine.
