English Topic Dictionaries

These Topic Dictionaries are topic-related word lists, like Travel, Food, Health, etc. Each topic is divided into categories. Each dictionary can be translated into your language, allowing you to create your own exercise to learn and practice.

These dictionaries cover the most important words up to B2 (upper-intermediate) level.
