Hello Jillian,

I also tend to use wordreference and linguee. I think that when you are looking for a single word, google translate can give you a lot of options just like a dictionary. Reverso.net is a good option too. And, my bible is Simon and Schuster (hard copy). As a monolingual dictionary I like to use the dictionary of the Real Academia Española. In addition to these dictionaries, I always use some other technical dictionaries and glossaries that are related with my areas of expertise and here Wikipedia is very useful, too. ▲ Collapse
