Other learner's dictionaries

The Learn These Words First dictionary explains 2400 headwords using a 360-word defining vocabulary (for beginning-level learners).

You can look up many additional headwords in larger learner's dictionaries, which often use between 2000 and 3000 words in their defining vocabularies (for intermediate-level learners).

Tip: When you look up a word in an intermediate or advanced dictionary, if the definition contains some unfamiliar words, you can copy and paste the definition into the Word Finding Tool. It can show you where to find a simple explanation for each word used in the definition.
