Any good deed, wherever in the world it is carried out, brings benefits to human life. The recently published *Makul English–Turkmen Dictionary*, issued in America by the *Makul Hyzmat* Translation Center, is also of such importance.
Prepared in honor of the 34th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s Independence and the 30th anniversary of its Permanent Neutrality, the *Makul English–Turkmen Dictionary* contains 16,500 words, as well as specialized terms in such fields as law, business, medicine, sports, artificial intelligence, and others.
In today’s advanced society, learning English is necessary for every one of us — whether we are pupils, students, lawyers, economists, doctors, journalists, or travelers, it makes no difference — in any situation it is essential. Therefore, the new dictionary is an important and useful guide in international relations.
**Where can the dictionary be found and studied?**
The dictionary is available not only in printed form, but also on the website [www.makulsozluk.com](http://www.makulsozluk.com) and in mobile applications. In this format, users can listen to audio recordings of English and Turkmen words, as well as explore a children’s game-based dictionary, an illustrated dictionary, hundreds of dialogue samples, proverbs, suffixes, prefixes, and idioms.
The *Makul Dictionary*, being a valuable scientific resource, is at the same time a new language bridge in cultural, economic, and diplomatic relations between Turkmenistan and the United States.
