"Countless times a day," I reply
It's my companion, by my side

But one app stands out, a dictionary bright
Helping me learn, day and night

Need a good rest, to learn again
Sleep, sweet sleep, a precious time
To recharge my body, and make my learning climb

Learning English, we'll make it deep
Step by step, word by word, we'll grow
With these companions, our English will flow

English	Arti
1. How often do you use your dictionary?	1. Seberapa sering Anda menggunakan kamus?
Countless times a day, and seven days a week, I have to say. I work as an English teacher, and in my working environment, I encounter new or strange word combinations all the time, so that’s why I always need a dictionary by my side.	Saya harus mengatakan, tak terhitung jumlahnya dalam sehari, dan tujuh hari seminggu. Saya bekerja sebagai guru bahasa Inggris, dan dalam lingkungan kerja saya, saya selalu menemukan kombinasi kata baru atau aneh, jadi itulah mengapa saya selalu membutuhkan kamus di samping saya.
2. Do you like paper dictionary or electronic dictionary?	2. Apakah Anda suka kamus kertas atau kamus elektronik?
Answer 1: Either of them sound fine to me. The paper version is quite original, but I’m not very keen on the idea of carrying a heavy, thick book here and there just to look up some words occasionally. I’d much rather use the built-in dictionary in my kindle e-book reader, so that I wouldn’t have to bring too many things with me.	Jawaban 1: Keduanya terdengar baik bagi saya. Versi kertas cukup orisinal, tetapi saya tidak terlalu suka dengan ide membawa buku tebal dan berat ke sana kemari hanya untuk mencari beberapa kata sesekali. Saya lebih suka menggunakan kamus bawaan di pembaca ebook kindle saya, sehingga saya tidak perlu membawa terlalu banyak barang.
Answer 2: E-dictionary, absolutely. It’s very convenient and portable. I can use my smartphone and look up new words whenever and wherever I want without having to carry a heavy book with me all the time.	Jawaban 2: Kamus elektronik, tentu saja. Itu sangat mudah dan portabel. Saya dapat menggunakan smartphone saya dan mencari kata-kata baru kapan saja dan di mana saja tanpa harus membawa buku berat sepanjang waktu.
3. What kinds of dictionaries have you used before?	3. Jenis kamus apa yang pernah Anda gunakan sebelumnya?
There are several types of dictionaries: paperback, electronic, built-in, online, monolingual, bilingual, or even multi-lingual, and perhaps I’ve tried every single one of them. Each version has its own special features, but technically, they all serve the same purpose.	Ada beberapa jenis kamus: paperback, elektronik, bawaan, online, monolingual, bilingual, atau bahkan multi-lingual, dan mungkin saya telah mencoba semuanya. Setiap versi memiliki fitur khusus, tetapi secara teknis, semuanya melayani tujuan yang sama.
4. How will dictionaries change in the future?	4. Bagaimana kamus akan berubah di masa depan?
Answer 1: Actually, many different prospects have come to mind, but I believe the most possible one is what I would call ‘dictionary implantation’. It’s indeed a little bit scary, but just think about it: you can instantly learn a new language just by having a minor operation. How cool is that?	Jawaban 1: Sebenarnya, banyak prospek berbeda yang terlintas di pikiran, tetapi saya percaya yang paling mungkin adalah apa yang saya sebut 'implantasi kamus'. Memang sedikit menakutkan, tetapi pikirkanlah: Anda dapat langsung belajar bahasa baru hanya dengan melakukan operasi kecil. Keren kan?
Answer 2: Given that technology has become more and more developed, it is highly likely that unique kinds of dictionaries like a visual dictionary will be created and developed, which allows users to acquire vocabulary quickly and effectively.	Jawaban 2: Mengingat teknologi telah berkembang semakin pesat, sangat mungkin bahwa jenis kamus unik seperti kamus visual akan diciptakan dan dikembangkan, yang memungkinkan pengguna untuk mempelajari kosakata dengan cepat dan efektif.
5. What kinds of dictionaries have you used before?	5. Jenis kamus apa yang pernah Anda gunakan sebelumnya?
I’ve used quite a lot of dictionaries; but 3 dictionaries that I make use of the most are Cambridge Dictionary, Collocation dictionary, and Thesaurus dictionary. All of them are absolutely necessary for any English learner, I believe.	Saya telah menggunakan banyak kamus; tetapi 3 kamus yang paling sering saya gunakan adalah Cambridge Dictionary, Collocation dictionary, dan Thesaurus dictionary. Saya percaya, semuanya mutlak diperlukan bagi setiap pembelajar bahasa Inggris.
