Словарь создан для продвинутых изучающих английский язык. В принципе, что такое Toefl, думаю, объяснять не нужно, но важность такого теста очень велика, даже огромная. Первый раз на сайте выходит En-En словарь, и я думаю это очень неплохая практика. Чем хорош En-En словарь? — тем, что мы изучаем и значение слова по его эквивалентам. Это превосходный способ «раздуплиться» в реально сложных словах. Одним словом, я восхищен этим словарем и подборкой слов в целом. Вот некоторые советы при изучении:
1. не забывайте смотреть на транскрипцию и проверять произношение слов при изучении;
2. если вы не знаете самого словa — эквивалента изучаемого, нужно найти его
