Everyday Stuff :)

BEST DICTIONARY: www.wordreference.com

- This website allows you to find the best word or the best definition that you need because it is comprehensive. If you look up the translation of a word in English it is quite possible that there are various words in Spanish that can mean the same translation, but that are used in certain situations. This website gives you a description and example of each of the possible words as well as tells you whether it is a verb, adjective, noun, etc. All of this allows you pick the best word for what you want to say. It also allows you to listen to how the word is pronounced as well as conjugations for a verb that you are looking up.
