Top German Dictionaries for Beginners & Intermediate Learners.

          Here are the top dictionaries that I personally tried & found them great for me when I was a beginner & I’m still using them. The great thing about them is that they are not complicated and most of them provide features that I always look for in a dictionary, like:
-Pronunciation.
-Examples. (These are important because you could know how the word is used.)
- 2 ways-translation. (From English to German & from German to English) This feature is important because you might be stuck if you want to know how to say something in German & your dictionary only translates from German or vice versa.

# It Provides pronunciation with the ability to download high-quality audio. (The pronunciation doesn’t sound robotic.)
# It provides many examples as you can see in the screenshots. But not for every word. Only for ‘common’ words.
# Synonyms for every word (German & English)
# Bidirectional: you just type the word, both German & English results come up.
#Translates common phrases.

# Provides numerous translations for the word.
# Provides many collocations for the word. Also expressions/ idioms etc the word is in.
# Great for one word search. Doesn’t not translate phrases.
3. Ultralingua German Dictionary:

Ultralingua has been one of my most favorite dictionaries for plenty of reasons. It’s a software that works on PC and It offers:
# Offline conjugation for the all verbs. You type the verb, choose the tense & voila!
I think I’ve never seen an offline verbs conjugation feature in any other dictionary.
# The possibility to save words as flashcards.
# The best Ultralingua feature that totally blows my mind is
Converting numbers into their written forms.



It is especially useful since German numbers are tricky.
