- Dict.cc. This is by far one of my favorite German-English dictionaries online. It doesn’t have tons of bells and whistles, the design may be somewhat outdated, but its real strength is in the results, which include many idiomatic phrases and terminology from a variety of fields.
- Dict.leo.org. In terms of features and quality this one is very similar to dict.cc, so it may just be a matter of preference – some of my German teaching colleagues swear by Leo, some by Dict.cc.
- Bab.la. First of all, bab.la has a really clean and neat design, and in terms of presentation is probably one of my favorites. Search results are very easy to navigate and always come with synonyms, examples and context.
- Pons.com. This online dictionary is provided by Pons, a renowned German publisher of dictionaries that was established in 1978. Just like their paper publications, the Pons online dictionary features a very clean layout and solid translations.
Very informative, good examples, explanations of use, etc. Duden & Wahrig are the two pantheon-like authorities on the German language. Langenscheidt also makes a good and good sized German-German dictionary for German-language learners (a “Deutsch als Fremdsprache” Dictionary) if I remember right.
Feb 8, 2024 · Dict.cc, Leo, Pons, Duden, Linguee, Bab.la and Collins are all free and equally user-friendly German dictionaries with solid translations, audio pronunciation and examples of usage. Most of them are accessible online and via iOS or Android apps.
I know it is *the* reference for German, but I prefer other monolingual dictionaries like DWDS or Wiktionary. Duden's definitions are usually overly abstract, and often they lead you round in circles (i.e. it says A means B, and when you look up B, it says it means A). Or watch German YT/TV with subtitles.
Aug 20, 2024 · To reflect trends in language, the Duden - the preeminent German dictionary - periodically adds new words to its lexicon. The 29th edition of the Duden is being published today, August 20, and it contains 3.000 new words.
