Using the right language in the workplace is about more than just grammar—it’s about choosing the combinations of words that professionals actually use. That’s why our industry-specific collocation dictionaries are designed to help you speak and write English more naturally and effectively in your field.
Whether you work in business, law, healthcare, IT, finance, or engineering, each profession has its own vocabulary—and more importantly, its own common word combinations. Our dictionaries don’t just define words; they show you how those words are used together in real-world professional contexts. For example, in a business setting, you’ll find phrases like “meet a deadline,” “launch a product,” or “reach a target.” In healthcare, collocations like “administer medication” or “monitor symptoms” are more relevant.
Each dictionary collocation resource is tailored to industry-specific usage, offering practical examples, sentence patterns and context-driven learning. This helps professionals improve their written and spoken communication, prepare for international work environments and avoid awkward phrasing that can lead to misunderstandings.
