1.4 How to use a dictionary

A dictionary is a collection of words in one or more specific
languages, often listed alphabetically (or by radical and stroke for
ideographic languages), with usage of information, definitions,
etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, translation, and other
information; or a book of words in one language. A dictionary is a very
important tool for anyone who is learning a new language. With a good
dictionary you can do the following:
1).Pronunciation : Syllabification and word stress
2).Part of speech
3).Words with the same spelling but different use or
meaning : contacts
4).Varieties of meaning
5). Spelling Variations
6). Example sentence
7). Idioms
8). Differences between British and American usage

1). Pronunciation: Syllabification and word stress
A syllable is a unit of sound. It can be a vowel, a
diphthong, or one or more vowels combined with one or more
consonants. In most English dictionaries, words that are more than one
syllable are divided by a dot or space between the syllables.
