Dictionary

Dictionary is a ready reference for language difficulties for words and vocabulary. But the dictionary has to be a two way dictionary meaning two language reference types. If you want to find a parallel word for some English word then English to foreign language dictionary will be of use.

And if you want to know the meaning of certain foreign language word in English then you will have to use foreign language to English dictionary. This aspect if can be used in single dictionary then it is called as two way dictionary where either way foreign language or English words can be searched easily and understood.

Lingo Fx25 has all the dictionaries in two way form.
