Mr Loh, Can you plzzzzz add the pronunciation for the word groups like Synonyms (c-no-nims)? Because me & Vanessa didn't know how to pronounce Metaphors when we saw the word.

I am using a CD Dictionary.(Oxford Advance Learner's Compass).It is so easy to use!

Mr Loh,we can use the Dictionary to check meanings for English words.It is easier then flipping pages searching for a word.It saves a lot of time.
