Intro
When I encountered an unfamiliar word while watching YouTube videos or immersing myself in other English content on the Internet, I would open Cambridge Dictionary and look up the word.
It would tell me how to pronounce, its meanings, and usually a few examples for each meaning.
It's a super helpful service. It does a really great job.
There are phonetic transcriptions for both British and American English, along with detailed explanations and examples. This is a really great way for me to learn pronunciation and expand my vocabulary in the end.
