Studying English - the usage of dictionaries

Since I just started to study English (and Spanish) at the University of Graz, I’ve been keeping myself busy with trying out a variety of online dictionaries. These are the ones I find most useful:

Vocabulary.com as a monolingual dictionary. It has a clear overview and simple and understandable definitions. Besides, by signing up for vocabulary.com, you can easily safe words and phrases in a list and revise them every once in a while.
www.vocabulary.com


Pons.eu as a bilingual dictionary. I even installed the PONS-Software which was included in the hardcover edition of the PONS dictionary. The picture on the left handside shows how the software looks like. Highly recommend it.
www.pons.eu


Thesaurus.com, which can be used for looking up synonyms and antonyms of words and phrases. Very useful.
www.thesaurus.com
