Sites úteis de consulta (dictionaries)

Hi there students!

Here I´m writing those sites (as on-line dictionaries) I always tell you about, hope you enjoy and it´s useful to you! Chose the best for you, and the most suitable in your level. Anyway, I recommend you:

Begginers: English/ Portuguese dictionaries: Altavista/Google/Babylon/Bussola escolar/Yahoo buscas/ Dicionário universal/ Freedict;
Inermediate and advanced: Merriam/ Freesearch/ Your Dictionary/ Slang UK;

Amount of kisses for all.
Teacher Lu.

Dictionaries: In order that I often use:
Merriam: http://www.merriam-webster.com/mw/home.htm;
Freesearch:
Your dictionary: http://www.yourdictionary.com/
Slang UK: http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/a.htm
Altavista: http://babelfish.altavista.com
Google ferramentas de diomas: http://www.google.com.br/language_tools?hl=pt-BR
Babylon on-line: http://www.babylon.com/definition/braiding/Portuguese - esse é mais complicadinho. Para traduzir a palavra que se quer no próprio link acima, troque a palavra pela palavra desejada e ENTER. Para dicionário Ingles/Ingles digite: ENGLISH no lugar do PORTUGUESE e ENTER. (esse é um dos dicionários mais completos que achei);
Bussola escolar: http://www.bussolaescolar.com.br/dicionarios.htm;
Yahoo buscas (dicionários): http://br.search.yahoo.com/search?p=dicion%C3%A1rio+on+line&fr=fp-today (esse é o resultado de uma busca que fiz, mas que apareceram sites bem interessantes);
Dicionário Universal: http://www.dicts.info/ud/portuguese.php?k1=&k2=&w=&w2=
Freedict: http://www.freedict.com/onldict/por.html

* As much as I find more suitable dictionaries, I post it here!
** If you find something interesting, please send me to post here too!

Hope you enjoy his funny language and his English topics....
His talking about his adventures since he arrived there, and you could notice and enjoy how is this process going on!

Kisses for all of yoU!
