The latest edition of the highly-regarded, easy-to-understand English-Japanese dictionary for learners is now available!
The Ace Crown English-Japanese Dictionary, 4th Edition, features an even more comprehensive display of CEFR levels, the international standard indicating the importance of words and their meanings.
The display method has been upgraded to more faithfully represent each part of speech using the CEFR-J (Japanese version) word list. Furthermore, the most important words now display the newly developed CEFR level for each meaning, making it even clearer which words and their meanings require particular focus. This makes it especially helpful for beginners.

**The text includes over 1000 columns that provide strong support for learners, such as "Meaning Maps" for concisely organizing polysemous words, "Collocations" for frequently used words, and "Related Words" for organizing synonyms.** * **Basic verbs are accompanied by a column titled "Learn with Chunks!" which includes chunks (semantic groups of several words).** Furthermore, important words are accompanied by a column titled "CAN-DO Tips," which shows "what you can do in English" once you master a particular expression. This ensures that vocabulary learning doesn't end with mere memorization of facts.
* **CEFR** is an indicator of language proficiency levels that has influence not only in Europe but worldwide, and is deeply related to the content of the foreign language curriculum in Japan's current curriculum guidelines. Adhering to the CEFR-J word list developed for application to English education in Japan, *Ace Crown 4th Edition* displays the A1-B2 level for important words by part of speech. This allows learners to easily determine whether a word they look up is an important word that requires in-depth study or not, enabling more efficient learning.
* **Focusing on important words at the A1 and A2 levels, newly developed CEFR levels for each word meaning are also displayed.** Important words tend to have many meanings, but this clearly shows learners which meanings are particularly important and must be memorized.
**Ace Crown 4th Edition** * Two new sections have been added to the appendix: a manual on how to construct English sentences for output, and a guide to useful vocabulary and expressions categorized by "CAN-DO" for communicating in English.
