COMPARISON OF DICTIONARIES

Although there are many dictionaries online, I would like to remark three of them:

1.Oxford Dictionary: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/
2. Webster Dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com/
3. WordReference: http://www.wordreference.com/es/
I have look it up the word " pharmacy"

1. it gives the definition, example sentences, origin, pronuntiation

2.  it gives, definition(definition for students, medical definition), examples in a sentence, origin and etymology, synonyms, other pharmacology terms, pronuntiation, learn more about pharmacy

 3.  it gives, definition, synonim in context and images, translation and pronuntiation.

 

Comparing this three dictionaries I prefer WordReference, due to the entire information of the word provided in different sections. Besides , Oxford Dictionary gives correct definitions but the information is shorter. Finally, although Webster gives you a lot of information and it is well  organized, I think that it could be more complete adding images like Wordreference. 

 

 Learner's Dictionary: it gives a more simple information about the word looked up.

Learner's definition of PHARMACY

   a store or part of a store in which drugs and medicines are prepared and sold

• There's a pharmacy in our grocery store now.

[noncount : the practice and profession of preparing drugs and medicines

• She's studying pharmacy at the university.
  
  

  QUIZZES

  I have tested one quiz of Learner ' s Dictionary, " Name that Thing" and one of Webster Dictionary, "How strong is your vocabulary". 

  I think that this is a good way to learn while you are playing. 

  Both of them are very useful and educative.
