Tip!
If you use Google Chrome you can download and install the extension Google Dictionary. Every time you come across an unknown word as you browse through the internet you can double-click on it and the dictionary will show you a short definition ;-) To find the extension click HERE. Its name is "Google Dictionary (by Google)" and it should be right at the top.
Good luck!
