Dictionary review


Having looked at a number of monolingual online dictionaries in class this week, my colleges and I reviewed the vocabulary.com dictionary. We recorded the review. I did a transcript of my part in the review. The idea behind the transcript is to see the own mistakes and get aware of the fact that improvements need to be made.

“We had a look at the dictionary vocabulary.com. It’s a website where you can look up vocabulary. It shows you the different meanings of the word. It furthermore shows if it is a verb or a noun. You can also see if it has synonyms as well as antonyms.”

I am not pleased with the aspect that I used the same verb in two successive sentences. Therefore I need to work on my vocabulary to be able to use different words. Another unbelievable mistake of mine in this recording is the mispronunciation of the word “noun”. But I am pleased that I spoke fluently.

If you have any suggestions for improvements feel free to let me know. I am always thankful for constructive comments.
