the best vocabulary book ever.

It’s perfect for learning conversational English. I really needed this.

コミュニケーションツールとしての英語を習得したい方にピッタリです。

海外で仕事をしています。勉強の技術と呼ばれ難語をクリア-にする正確な技術を使って学んでいますが、英和辞典には限界があり、英英辞典ではさらにわからない単語にでくわすといった悲劇に見舞われてました。
コミュニケーションで伝えようとする意図が何かが例文や語源を通じて理解できるように構成されてているので、自分で例文を作るヒントになり、例文を何度も作って、概念的な理解を得ることが容易にできるようになりました。
意図を受け止めることに難しさを抱えていましたが、できるようになってきている実感があります。
