www.Pons.de - Online German Dictionary Online language dictionaries can be problematic. Some are far better than others, and all require students to explore them before being able to use them to their full potential. Arguably the best online German dictionary available these days is www.Pons.de . Note: the Pons homepage has recently been modified to display Pons.de's online store first, rather than its online dictionary. After arriving at the website, you must click the green "Online Wörterbuch" tab at the top of the page. Have some fun with it!
