Well, I've been learning ? for several years now. When I first started I used to use a ? a lot. Obviously there were lots of words I didn't know so I would just, you know, pick up the ? look a word up and it would give me a ? but, as I .. as my language improved I realised that it wasn't so helpful the bilingual dictionary because it didn't tell me exactly what the word meant and where I could use it, and the differences between words um which were very similar in meaning. So it's not so useful at an advanced level but having said that, I do still use it quite a bit - you know if I want to find a word quickly and I I don't want to have to look it up and find out lots of information. I just want a quick... quick word which will do and if I'm reading and I don't want to ? too much and I can't ? from the ? then I'll look it up quickly in a bilingual dictionary but obviously it has its limitations because there's only a limited ? and as I said it doesn't... doesn't really give you that much information so if I want to find out, you know, the sort of different meanings between two words which are very, very then I have to use another sort of dictionary you know a ? but what I do do sometimes is that I I ? in English in a bilingual dictionary and get various French words and then I'll go to the monolingual dictionary and look up those words and see how they're actually used and then I get a better idea.
