i am not when i was in facutly not alive in dormitroy
I don't use any hard copy dictionary. I used to use it in my childhood since I didn't know how to use google for searching any word meaning. But when I grow up I just started using online dictionaries like google translator. It helps me to find any word meaning in no time. So it saves our valuable time & makes our life faster than old days. Moreover, hard copy dictionaries consume a lot of time & effort. I think people rarely use those dictionaries nowadays.
I use google dictionary every time when i find meaning of some words or sentences.
I must use a dictionary but I think is easier to translate the words using DeepL Translator.
I use dictionaries everyday because I'm trying to focus on studying English at the moment.
i don't use it much
I use the dictionary to understand the meaning and the pronunciation of a word.
I use the dictionary frecuently when i dont have idea about the meanings
I use dictionary daily.
when I need translation word or phrases in study.
Sound pronunciation the word.
I must say that I use it very often to check the meaning of new words I learn, at least 3 times a week. Sometimes I use it only to be sure of the precise meaning of a word, although I have an idea of the general meaning of the word before I look for it in the dictionary.
Thanks for the episode.
