Oxford Language Dictionaries Online is HERE!!

Hello Everyone,

Great News! I have managed to obtain Oxford Language Dictionaries Online for you all. The modules we have cover French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese, so this should prove invaluable to everyone in SOMLAL & MLTC. The dictionaries are updated twice a year to ensure the latest words and meanings are there. A great help for translation and language learning.

Other features include:

• Contextualized language reference help - including notes on culture and guidance on grammar, vocabulary and idiomatic usage


• Pronunciation software and audio recordings

See you soon, Clare
