I use Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.
every words are illustrated clearly, many example .and the colorful design make it very readable. I also love its CD-rom that comes with the language activator. It is very helpful when i 'm typing e-mail. Smile

I use a Chambers Dictionary, which I find to be suited to my needs. But mostly I use the dictionary, thesaurus & encyclopedia facility in Word 2007 - which are brilliant and easy to use when I'm typing. Also love the translation facility - which is so quick.

I'm using the Oxford Advanced Learner's dictionary of current English
My teacher recommended it. It's pretty good too =]

when I was a junior high student, my teacher recommended me to learn English by an English Dictionary.
It is really nice tool for English learners. Cool

I highly recommend the Macmillan Advanced Learners Dictionary with CD rom.

I wrote a little about why using an English-English is important:
