Oh, dictionaries, my dictionaries, our dictionaries.
What dictionary should a learner use?
Maybe whatever that works would be the best answer...
but, still, what dictionary?

Though it's unclear what criteria or features they choose or use with each type of their dictionaries, it's rather clear that sorting from the difficulty level, their dictionaries can be grouped in this order:
- Primary
- Lower Secondary
- Secondary
- Beginner / Lower Intermediate
- Intermediate / Upper Intermediate
- Upper Intermediate / Advanced
