Good online spanish dictionaries

Postby dryh2o » January 3rd, 2008 5:17 am

At my school I used http://wordreference.com/ for a spanish and english dictionary. It is pretty helpful because it also has the conjugations of verbs on it. Does anyone else have an online dictionary that they prefer to use?

dictionaries

The best dictionary I've found is the Real Academia Española: http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/ (also, it's free). Aside from that, I'm fond of www.diccionarios.com, especially for translation resources (though, this one requires a subscription). However, I think that both are very good and I highly recommend them.

Sometimes I look at wordreference.com, but I prefer the systematic aspect of the dictionaries noted above.

Saludos,
Joseph

I love WordReference.com, primarily because in addition to the definitions, it provides links to numerous discussions about those words and phrases in the WordReference.com forums. That's by far the part I use and value most. The discussions give me a much better sense of just how and where a word or phrase is used (and not used). WordReference.com is probably my favorite reference site for Spanish.

I use http://dict.leo.org - useful for all German native speakers
