best choice for non-native speakers
Nisus Thesaurus has several features that make it the best choice for non-native speakers. The old-fashioned style of thesaurus is not very helpful for English learners because they typically dont know the meaning of the suggested synonyms and so end up choosing a word that doesnt make sense for their particular context. Nisus Thesaurus, on the other hand, provides a list of possible meanings for the word you look up, and then makes it clear which synonyms are appropriate for which definition. Even better, it lets you choose more specific or more general synonyms, so a non-native speaker can avoid choosing a word with an overly narrow meaning.
I have recommended this thesaurus to my international students, but I was disappointed to discover that they cant use it on their smartphones. Please make this thesaurus available as an app for iPhone and iPad!!!!!!
