What is B.E.D.?
Beginners English Dictionary (BED) is a website designed to help beginning English language learners.
Site visitors can check out the meaning of words and see a helpful sentence showing the usage of the word.
Did you know that 1,500 words make up 80% of English?
That's the good news!
The bad news is that the top 700 words are the most frequent and the most difficult to use (articles, prepositions etc..). The remaining thousands of words can be memorised and used more easily.
BED will help you learn these top 1,500 words and give you plenty of activities to practice these words until you have mastered them.
Before you know it, you will become a master of the English language.
