I have several dictionaries installed in my pc, namely Microsoft Bilingual Encanta, Oxford Study Genie Plus, Logman Pronunciation Dict.
I just hope you know what I am talking about. I have wasted most of my time searching for good resources, in order for me, not just to overcome the learning curve peak, but also to make real sense and intertwine all the bits of info (eg, before knowing about phonetics, hardly could I have imaged the reason to double the -g in bigger, the derivation of wanna from the full form want to, the slightly phonetic difference in president vs precedent or realize some Americans flapping a nasalized /t/ ). Now, I do not know of any dictionary of either Japanese, any Arabic dialect or Chinese, half as complete as any of the above mentioned. As you must know, there’re really helpful English resources, especially dictionaries, for non-native speakers – eg wordreference, Logman or Oxford study genie plus, which offer a mix of bits of grammar, lexicon -collocations, polywords, idioms, phrasel verbs, prepositions etc.-, translation/transliteration, plus others like wiktionary’s regional yonder, eye-spelled whaddaya’s IPA pronunciation, possessive all y’all’s etc – I am an English learner who’s currently interested also in Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and Tokyo dialect of Japanese. Browse to it, click on it and OK.įirst of all, I want to say thanks and congrats on your great work. You will be asked to show the location of the ldoce5.data folder.

(this was the problem which I had with the installation process!). Before you do any next step, check if you have all the necessary libraries in your system. The dictionary is launched with the ldoce5 file in the folder.ģ. The installation process asked me to overwrite some files so I pressed Y (and had to hold it for some time to make it faster, probably there is ome solution that helps to make it work with one Y :D)ĥ. Go to this folder and enter the linux folder.Ĥ. Copy two folders: ldoce5.data and linux to any location on your computer.Ģ. When Linux (Mint in my case) is in question:ġ. They are not simple when presented by someone who knows a lot more nonetheless. I have continually been learning how to use it and sometimes I catch myself that simple things are really simple. Unfortunately, people who want to master English, find a good dictionary, etc, are not often very skillful at Linux. The viewer is excellent, working fast and the layout is better than the orginal.
Good noboby has answered my previous posts :)) First, thank you God for people like Taku Fukada and their creativity, knowledge and skills.
