I've got an awesome monolingual Macmillan dictionary for advanced learners. It has got over 100 000 words and an awesome way to highlight the most common ones.
Ideally, I would love the same thing for my other languages. Is there anything like that? With which monolingual dictionaries do you have good experience? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For Spanish I'd recommend "El Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado 2012". It's not quite a dictionary, but an encyclopedia. It covers about 140,000 entries and is liberally sprinkled with pictures. I found this aspect very useful when it came to learning the numerous South American animals. A nice learners dictionary I use for French is, "Le Robert & Cle International Dictionnaire du Français". It has just 22,000 entries, but it has example sentences for every entry. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have a 30000 entries ones and I'm looking for something bigger.
The other option I am considering is a huge bilingual. I would like to try the three dictionaries method among other things :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry, but I have to hate on your Larousse. :) It's all 'bout the RAE student edition. http://www.amazon.com/Diccionario-del-estudiante-Spanish-Edi tion/dp/842940547X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373920022&sr=8-2& keywords=diccionario+del+estudiante 2 persons have voted this message useful |
