I use it all the time. Especially when I'm studying English.

I use a dictionary everytime I study English. That's not a book_it's just a Google. Google is an essential teacher for me when studying English. I always use it every time when I need to know a meaning, pronunciation, synonyms, and so on.
I use a dictionary a lot these days when I take English classes.
Mostly an online dictionary. It's easier, faster, richer in words and helps me with pronunciation.
As I always read the news every morning, there are often new words whose meanings I am not sure of. Therefore, I always use a dictionary to learn the definitions of these words and listen to their pronunciations. A dictionary is very useful for learning new words and is also a great way to improve foreign language skills.
