Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners is one of the most “Oscar-winning” explanatory dictionaries, and has received a sea of various awards and encouragements from lexicographers. It has been republished many times and, accordingly, supplemented. Today it contains more than 100,000 dictionary entries and no less examples of the use of certain words. Reflects several regional dialects of English. The most common words are marked in the dictionary with special icons, because such a concept as “frequency” is very important for language learners.
In general, I believe that for every person learning English, this dictionary is simply irreplaceable. I'll show the hero's face.
The dictionary already has a slightly shabby appearance, which is not surprising. But I don’t keep it on hand for beauty, right?
The dictionary has brief instructions for use (at first it is very helpful, especially in terms of deciphering abbreviations). In addition, it has a small grammar reference book, additional materials on reading rules and a very interesting insert of articles called Language Awareness, which introduces us to the features of a particular area of use of the English language and contains some cultural references.
This material, for example, will tell us the basics of the politically correct use of certain phrases, etc.
The Macmillan dictionary is very voluminous, almost 1700 pages. Carrying it with you is definitely not an option, it can kill you.
In the era of electronic books, why do we need such a colossus? I also have an electronic version of this dictionary in my smartphone just in case, but I prefer to work with a paper version, since I need to quickly cover the entire dictionary entry in its entirety, at one glance, and not painfully scroll through the smartphone screen in search of the desired word form.
The font is quite small; unfortunately, it will be difficult for people with very poor eyesight to work with this dictionary.
However, its fantastic coverage of all kinds of topics is simply amazing. I have never come across a word whose interpretation I could not find in this dictionary.
The cover of the dictionary is soft, but with my crazy hands it was “dressed” in a thick layer of tape and now it won’t tear, even if I drop it. And dropping books with such bindings is contraindicated - they will simply fall apart.

- ONE OF THE BEST MODERN DICTIONARIES
Dictionary Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners was published on March 22, 2002, and is currently one of the best dictionaries of the English language. In it you can find words or new meanings that appeared in the language relatively recently and are not reflected in other similar publications (Botox, aneurysm, Grammy, etc.). In December 2002, the dictionary received the most prestigious award in the field of literature for English language learners, the Duke of Edinburgh's Prize. In 2004, the publishing house's dictionaries - Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners And Macmillan Essential Dictionary receive a new award - the British Council Innovation Award 2004 for innovation in the creation of reference materials for English language learners.
According to lexicographers, the optimal dictionaries are the so-called desktop dictionaries; the number of words in them ranges from 60,000 to 100,000, so that the user always has the opportunity to grow. The more words a dictionary contains, the longer it will remain a reference book. This is exactly the type MED belongs to. It contains over 100,000 dictionary entries and 80,000 examples of words used in various contexts. This is more than any other dictionary of a similar level offers. MED reflects not only British, American and Australian English, which are represented in many dictionaries, but also South African and Indian varieties.
The creators of the dictionary used a number of unique techniques to make the process of using the dictionary as convenient as possible. Colorful illustrations help explain the meaning of some words (names of animals, flowers, fruits).
To explain 100,000 words, only 2,500 words are used, which are listed in a separate list at the end of the dictionary.
The most common words are highlighted in red. Learn these words (there are 7,500 of them in total) and you will be able to understand 88 percent of any text, as well as freely express your thoughts both orally and in writing.
Words with more than five meanings have convenient menus that help you find the desired meaning of the word in a matter of seconds. Collocations and phraseological expressions containing a particular word are given in alphabetical order at the end of the dictionary entry, which greatly simplifies the search system.
The dictionary gives the user not just lexicographical information (for example, “black” is the darkest color), but also provides additional information about the uses of a given word in the language, in addition, where necessary, there are cultural and historical references. Also, the dictionary addresses issues of word compatibility. All of this is extremely important when learning a new language.
In addition to the printed version, there is also a full electronic version of the dictionary. MED CD-ROM has an improved word search system and many additional features: the ability to listen to more than 100,000 lexical items in American and British English; record, listen and practice pronunciation, view the meaning and pronunciation of a particular word and expression, working in any editor, program or Internet; check the spelling of any written word; add additional information to any keyword, create your own word lists, etc.
Anyone can freely visit this site www.macmillandictionary.com and use the resources presented there, subscribe to the newsletter, which contains a lot of useful information. For example, the “Word of the Week” section will provide information about new words that appear in the language every day. These words cannot be found in any dictionary!

Everything about Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners
The modern process of modernizing the content of education, the activities of educational institutions to prepare students for passing the Unified State Exam set an indispensable goal for teachers: to teach how to extract additional educational information from authoritative, objective sources and, thus, help the student in organizing independent, autonomous work in the classroom, and beyond.
The appearance of each new textbook on grammar, vocabulary, phonetics pleases the teacher and allows his students to take another step in improving their language skills and speech skills. And it is especially valuable when one textbook combines a grammar reference book, expands and systematizes the student’s lexical range, includes an audio application for mastering the pronunciation of new words, and helps in many other ways.
The Macmillan Advanced Dictionary for Advanced Learners can be a reference book for any English language learner.
The dictionary was released on March 22, 2002, and is currently one of the best dictionaries in the English language. Why? If we put ourselves in the shoes of the dictionary user and highlight the key points that he pays attention to, we can easily answer this question.
Dictionary size and level (number of words, examples)
According to lexicographers, the most optimal dictionaries are the so-called desktop dictionaries. The optimal number of words is between 60,000 and 100,000 so that the user always has the opportunity to grow. The more words a dictionary contains, the longer it will remain a reference book. This is exactly the type MED belongs to. It contains over 100,000 dictionary entries and 80,000 examples of words used in various contexts. This is more than any other dictionary of a similar level offers. MED reflects not only the British, American and Australian varieties of English, which are represented in many dictionaries, but also the South African and Indian varieties.
Publication date
It is important that the information contained in the dictionary reflects the current state of the language. The dictionary was published in 2002, however, this is the first, and not the next, revised edition of the dictionary. In the dictionary you can find words or new meanings that appeared in the language relatively recently and are not reflected in other similar publications (Botox, aneurysm, Grammy, class A drugs, etc.). In December 2002, the dictionary received the most prestigious award in the field of literature for English language learners, the Duke of Edinburgh's Prize. In 2004, the publisher's dictionaries - Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners and Macmillan Essential Dictionary - received a new award - the British Council Innovation Award 2004.
Availability of illustrations

Ease of use of the dictionary (organization of lexical material)
The creators of the dictionary used a number of unique techniques to make the process of using the dictionary as convenient as possible.
To explain 100,000 words, only 2,500 words are used, which are listed in a separate list at the end of the dictionary.
The most common words are highlighted in red. Learn these words - there are 7,500 of them - and you will be able to understand 88% of any text, and also express your thoughts freely, both orally and in writing.
Words with more than five meanings have convenient menus that help you find the desired meaning of a polysemantic word in a matter of seconds. Collocations and phraseological expressions containing a particular word are given in alphabetical order at the end of the dictionary entry, which greatly simplifies the search system.
The dictionary gives the user not just lexicographical information (for example, “black” is the darkest color), but also provides additional information about the uses of a given word in the language. In addition, where necessary, there are cultural and historical references, and the contextual meanings of words are considered. This is very important when learning a new language. For example, how to use the word “black” in relation to people of the Negroid race. The dictionary deals with issues of word compatibility. According to research, learning a language is easier if you know the laws of word combinations.

Extremely true facts about MED
MED is wiser than an oak,
MED is funnier than a joke,
MED is smaller than a ship,
MED is far redder than a sheep.
To use MED you ought to have good memory, desire,
much time to learn it all.
And then you"ll only understand
that MED is the best of all the dictionaries and notes.
And that's extremely true.
MED is whiter than snow,
MED is longer than "Hello",
MED is not as wooden as a tree,
But it's more square than your knee.
Why do we speak about it?
Because that"s the thing
That all the students need to have,
to get an excellent mark at the exam.
They must at any rate read it everyday
Before going to bed.
And that's the famous MED!
Olga Antonova, first year student, SSPU.
The dictionary is an assistant to physicists and lyricists!
For all of us, it was a joyful event when the newest Macmillan Intermediate level dictionary appeared on the Russian market. MACMILLAN ESSENTIAL DICTIONARY, that is, a dictionary developed specifically to solve all the problems of learning not only in the general education program, but in order to master the advanced level program.
Why exactly did this dictionary attract our attention? Even a quick, formal leafing through the first acquaintance draws attention to the words printed in red - these are examples of the 3,500 most common words of the modern English language, and the number of red stars next to the same word, for example, 3 stars, indicates that this is the most common word Intermediate level of more than 200 million words. Look at the special insert - the Language Study section (after p. 492), the very table of contents of which speaks of the uniqueness of the educational material presented: Collocation s new material speaks of drawing your attention to vocabulary and grammatical notes, for example, after a verb, Topic Vocabulary (10 basic topics), Pronunciation, Metaphor, Word Formation, Register, Text Types. Using an audio application (CD - ROM) makes it possible not only to listen to the British or American version of pronunciation, but also to record your own pronunciation and compare it with a model. The student can independently check the correct spelling of a word using a unique sound search, and with access to assignments, games and tests on the Internet through the Macmillan Essential Dictionary CD - ROM, expand their vocabulary in a playful way. These and many other characteristics of this dictionary make it an indispensable, effective teaching aid for use by students starting from grades 6-7.
We only welcome the use of this authentic, modern material both during a regular working lesson and during the defense of a project, essay, or report. We teach how to use the dictionary to justify statements, for students to check each other and self-check when writing training and independent pre-test papers.
In June of this year, students in the 11th grade of secondary school No. 1940 had the opportunity to use only this English-English dictionary as reference literature during the final exam for the high school course. They showed a high level of knowledge and skills not only in working with unfamiliar text, but also in the field of monologue and dialogic speech.
