The learners' dictionary is beneficial to me, because it let me know how to explain this word easily. 

Bilingual dictionary is convenient. If I don't know the meaning of the word,I can look up the word quickly, but it is just suitable for beginners .If I want to learn a lot, learners' dictionary is a good choice.I usually use Cambridge learner's dictionary and Yahoo dictionary. Because there are  many example sentences and complete explanations , they are helpful for me to learn english.
