Macmillan Dictionary on social media

Our followers on Facebook and Twitter will have noticed that something has changed on Macmillan Dictionary's social pages: our channels have merged!

What has changed on Facebook?

We have merged our three Facebook channels: What's Your English, Learn English and Love English. Together, they have become MacDictionary, a place where English language learners, teachers, and linguists meet.

What has changed on Twitter?

Our @MacDictionary channel has outgrown our other channels and we've therefore asked our @MacLearnEnglish and @MacLiveEnglish followers to join @MacDictionary from now on. This means that the Learn and Live channels will be closed down in October 2014.

What has changed on Google+?

Our Google+ channel remains the same. We've teamed up with the rest of Macmillan Education to bring a useful blend of dictionary and ELT related content to our friends on Google+.

Why people like Macmillan Dictionary on social media

We are being bombarded by information nowadays […] so, being reminded of some hints, good info to be shared makes it very useful.

Because of the 'bite-size' pieces of information.

Because you can read other opinions.

Stefi, Student in Rome

I discovered Macmillan by chance in 2003 when I bought the CD version for advanced learner's. Since then I always say I LOVE MACMILLAN.

I find your social media content useful because you deal with the confusing skills of the English language.
