Description from store
English should be learned in English. This is the suitable app for those who believe that.
This extension shows bubble type popup for the selected word's definition in Longman Dictionary.
It can show a clickable icon for the popup, or clicking a word displays the bubble immediately. This always adopts American English pronunciation rather than British pronunciation.
If you would like to comment, please leave any here (or on this Github repository (https://github.com/nator333/longman-chrome-extention)).
For your information, this extension uses Pearson Dictionary API (http://developer.pearson.com/apis/dictionaries). It was supposed to become unavailable at the end of 2017 but still available up until today (May, 2019).

- (2020-08-15) Bobak Tadjalli: Hi, I had Installed this extension since 6 days ago. It had worked properly, but from 4 days ago until now, when I select a word and click on the pop-up button, it doesn't show up the dictionary. I'll appreciate if you fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
- (2020-01-19) Amir R.: I like it! I have three suggestions: 1) To be able to look for nouns that are in the plural form and also verbs in different tenses 2) To be able to look at the history of words that one has searched for 3) It might be beyond the scope of this project, but adding a flashcard aspect to the words that one has searched for would be great. It could help a user to learn new words efficiently.
- (2019-12-08) Jessica Warrior: The bubble (pop-up) feature is what's supposed to make this extension the best out there since all the other similarly great dictionaries look up words in a different tab but this feature stopped working quickly, even after I changed the options (because it wouldn't detect my selections) and chose "Show bubble after icon click" and clicked on the dictionary icon after selecting a word, there was no pop up. :(
- (2019-11-30) Houman Aria: This is what I was looking for, Except one thing, It would be great if you could add an option in right click menu for searching the world in Longman site directly, Like option for searching selected world in google thank you!
- (2019-11-21) //: Mr. Nakamata, thank you so much for fixing the bug the other day! This add-on is exactly what I was looking for. I love that it displays a phonetic sign, and can pronounce the word *and example sentences* with the click of a mouse. Thanks a million for creating and updating this add-on!
- (2019-10-24) Nguyen Cong: Perfect
- (2019-09-21) Hải Đường Nguyễn: Greatttt, I love ittt
- (2019-08-06) S Doc: This is one of the best dictionary bubble. But I need phonetic symbol and pronunciation sound of American English. So I disabled this.
- (2019-08-03) apacz825: Great. Helps me a lot. Thank you. If possible,I would like ask for option to open not a pop-up but directly Longman site in new tab.
- (2019-07-08) Ibrahim Maro: Thank you, this is what I was looking for. I see some improvements must be made; 1) the past form of verbs. 2) the plural of nouns. For example, endured (past form of verb endure) is not found. Also, the plural of the noun decade cannot be found.
- (2019-04-27) Mahmoud Shaheen: it awesome ... can you add play a British pronunciation and American for each world.
- (2019-03-29) Pobreng Milyonaryo: I like this. it's perfect for me;O)
- (2019-01-10) Yasuhiro Kubota: This extension is very useful for me. Thank you for your great work!
- (2018-10-19) 沈易興: It's what I am looking for. It's really useful when I am reading an e-book. There is a big problem that if there are two pop-up windows, I can not close the first one after close the second one. Especially when I double click a word showed in the first pop-up window because I don't understand the explanation. The first one pop-up window can not be closed. The only way I can do was to press "F5" to refresh.
