Language Books: Dictionaries, Grammar and Books to Learn a New Language

Learning a language opens a door, whether it leads to a better job, a university abroad or simply a film watched without subtitles. This section holds dictionaries, grammar books and language learning books for English and for foreign languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian and Russian, many of them from the trusted Collins range. You will also find enjoyable books about language itself: its history, its codes and its curious rules.

Choosing an English Dictionary

An English dictionary is the one reference book every student should own. A compact dictionary is light enough for a school bag and covers everyday words. A larger desk dictionary gives fuller meanings, word origins and examples, and suits college students and writers. A thesaurus is a useful companion when you know what you mean but cannot find the exact word.

Books to Learn Spanish, French, German and More

For a new language you need three things: a bilingual dictionary, a grammar you can understand, and regular practice. Books that combine a dictionary with a grammar section are good value for beginners. Verb books are especially helpful for learning Spanish, French and Italian, where verb endings cause the most trouble. Dual language story books, with the original on one page and English on the facing page, make reading practice far less tiring.

Books About Language

If you enjoy words, try a book about how language works: the story of secret codes, the life of a punctuation mark, or how metaphors shape the way we think. These are perfect for readers who like quizzes, crosswords and word games.

Tips for Language Learners

Little and often: fifteen minutes every day beats two hours on Sunday.
Use the dictionary actively: write down each new word with one sentence of your own.
Read above your level, slightly: if you understand most of a page, you will pick up the rest.
Check the edition: for exam courses, confirm the level shown on the cover matches yours.
