The ARCS provides  more than 770.

Why buy the ARCS?

"Proficient translation is an extremely complex process: bilingual translators of the English and German language should not only know how to translate “word for word” but idiomatically as well so that the complete information actually makes sense in the other language. Your English or German should not lack idiomaticity." (H.F.B.)

"Writing abilities are among the most important business skills for a CIO, senior IT manager, or any IT person seeking a promotion." (Jody Gilbert)

Stop the loss of time by using the ARCS and become more confident and proficient. The ARCS is an indispensable adjunct to language learning and idiomatic translation.

The ARCS is an English-German collocation dictionary and thesaurus for those who want their writing to be lucid, effective, and idiomatic.

The ARCS is highly recommended,

the most innovative,

the most comprehensive, and, in the world,

the most helpful dictionary of English collocations and their German or phraseological equivalents.

It is highly recomended as it has a five-star rating in the ELRA catalogue,

it is the most innovative as it is a relational data base,

it is the most comprehensive as it intra-connects more than one million words, and because it is several times larger than the other collocation dictionaries,

it is the most helpful as it provides very fast reports of all collocations that help make your English to be natural and up-to-date. The Arcs can be easily utilized as it is organized in database format. It is a treasure trove of contemporary corpus-based collocational knowledge. The ARCS helps you avoid typical and critical translation mistakes. The ARCS is a single-handed achievement of mine.  This is the first language data base with Boolean Searches.

What the Author Does

As the author and inventor of this cutting-edge electronic dictionary, I have been collecting modern English collocations, i.e. word combinations, since 1980. The written  sources cover a great variety of all walks of life. This dictionary is updated on an almost daily basis. Through this work I want to help users to speak and write natural English.

In addition, one can find German equivalents of almost all collocations.  Thus it is bilingual.

The ARCS is a part of the 100 million word British National Corpus.

The ARCS has been sponsored and validated by the European Union, i.e. by ELRA, the European Language Resources Agency in Paris.
