What it actually is

LEO's real advantage over dict.cc is the discussion forum attached to entries: for any ambiguous word there's usually a thread where native speakers argue out the nuance, which is often more useful than the entry itself. Includes conjugation and declension tables and audio pronunciation. Free and ad-supported, with an interface that hasn't changed much in years.
