My next post is similar to the first post. A great, little known resource for texts and dictionaries is nodictionaries.com. This website is right 90% of the time, and there are interlinear definitions of the words. The only drawback is that the definitions for the Latin words are not always accurate, and there are some common forms and names that the dictionary does not recognize. It also does not give any sort of parsing for the word. However, it is great for getting a sense of the text and for most vocabulary. Another great feature of this is registering and saving words directly from the text. Some of my students use these word lists to study for exams or to keep a running total of words they need to learn.
(My advice to students is to put a pencil mark next to the word in the dictionary or write it down each time a student looks up a word. If the same word is looked up three times, the student should memorize that word.)
