Dictionaries have been around for more than 2000 years. However, most people fail to use them to their full potential. For example, foreign language learners and students often use dictionaries only as bilingual glossaries. In doing so, they ignore the wealth of information dictionaries offer. Nevertheless, this is not really the language learner s fault since most learners do not know how to utilize all of the information dictionaries contain. The idea borne in their minds is that one of the mainstays of any language learner is the dictionary. But which dictionary? Many students comprehend the necessity of buying themselves bilingual or electronic translators because they fervently hope that they will find an instantly usable translation of a word they know in their language. In fact, there is a very good reason for them to want this since, at least in earlier stages, people tend to translate in their heads when they are learning in a foreign language, and the idea of a one-to-one correspondence between words in two languages is immensely attractive
