I think the dictionary is very essential for anyone learning a foreign language. When I was in high school, I used to use the dictionary books. When I went to the university, I used to the dictionary applications on my phone. Therefore, I learn English easier and more convenient. When I have new word, I will look it up in the dictionary to understand the meaning and the usage of the word. I think everyone should have the dictionary because it helps you a lot in learning a foreign language.
