G'day, how're things going? Today, I'm going to be talking about why fully utilising any online English dictionary is quite effective for the overall learning. Let's get underway.

Personally, I highly recommend using "Longman dictionary online." This website is completely free for learning English. There are heaps of ways in which you learn English words, grammar, English exam preparations, etc. Amongst other things, "Word of the day" is quite intriguing, actually. So what? Why do you think so? Well, since here varies day by day, and normally interesting words come up. And, they tend to be useful for learning etymology, grammar, read aloud, etc. As you can tell, today's word is "foresee", which you probably know the meaning, or you think it's familiar for most advanced English learners.

So, how should we use this information for the effective learning? Well, you just click just below the word 'foresee', and you'll see more details of how the word 'foresee' can be used depending on circumstances. First of all, as you can see, there's pronunciation part, which shows both British and American pronunciations, and the good thing is that you can see how both pronunciations are sounded hearing the actual voice recording.

Underneath the pronunciation, there are some useful bunch of example sentences using the word. Here, you can read them aloud repeatedly after listening to the audio recordings, which is undeniably the best method to be able to boost not just read aloud skills but semantic knowledge as well. In doing so, you can surely get used to the general usage of how this word 'foresee' should be used within a sentence. The more you read aloud, the quicker and smoother you will get accustomed to the use of new words. In this respect, I'd always say to you like using your mouth is so much better and faster than using your hands in order to master new words. Of course, don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean that I always underestimate the importance and effectiveness of writing down new words for memorisation. I just think, nonetheless, speaking has a more immediate impact on vocabulary study, to be honest.

And finally the latter half of the page shows the further useful sentences using the word, 'foresee'. For instance, as you can see, there are basically three different types of sentence structures using the word, 'foresee', which are "that clause", "WH clause", "word + preposition clause". Three of them are so common when it comes to grammatical structures. So, here you can learn how these three structures are utilised effectively.
