Pearson Dictionary
Catalogue

We are proud to bring you our wide range of dictionaries in various languages that cater for all ages and learning levels,
across a range of needs and skills.
Longman has led the way in English dictionaries since 1755. Based on long-term research, the current dictionary team
fi nds out what teachers and learners around the world need from a dictionary. The aim is to provide you with the best
learner’s dictionaries so that you can get your students communicating confi dently in English.
The ways in which Longman dictionaries can help you teach your students:
• The clearest defi nitions – the world-famous Longman Defi ning Vocabulary uses 2 000 common words for all
the defi nitions in the dictionaries.
• Pronunciation – the dictionaries provide phonetic pronunciations and all the Longman CD-ROMs allow
students to listen to the words.
• CD-ROMs – all our key dictionaries now come with CD-ROMS, which provide a wealth of extra material
allowing learners additional time to spend on their grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and exam practice.
For Afrikaans, Pearson is the proud publisher of the leading Afrikaans dictionary, the Handwoordeboek van Afrikaans
(HAT with CD-ROM), as well as an expanding range of new, authoritative Afrikaans dictionaries and language products.
Drawing on the HAT expertise, the HAT family now includes My eerste HAT (p. 28), My HAT Storiewoordeboek (p. 29), and
the HAT Afrikaanse skoolwoordeboek and HAT Afrikaanse sakwoordeboek (pp. 30-31).
The latest additions to our dictionary collection include the brand new Longman-HAT dictionary range – the Longman-
HAT Afrikaans Dictionary for English speakers, the Longman-HAT English-Afrikaans/Afrikaans-English Basic Dictionary (pp.
