Description
In keeping with the Lifco tradition, which is to spread education at all levels and in all languages, we are bringing out this Dictionary, as English is a compulsory language in schools and students should know the correct spellings and meanings of words.
The meanings of words are first given in simple everyday English and their simple Tamil equivalents are also furnished. Hence, students will be in a position to know easily the meanings of English Words. This Dictionary has the additional advantage of containing phrases from foreign languages which are in common use.
We have added many interesting, useful and valuable appendices which will be of immense benefit to the students in widening their general knowledge and information. The Dictionary habit is indispensable to students, for it promotes the reading habit and also helps the students to build up a large vocabulary which would be useful to them when they come to write essays, letters, articles and stories in English. We hope and trust that our students will make the best use of our Dictionary.
