Is there any way to use a Longman or an Oxford dictionary to find the word?

For example, consider that I have a concept in my mind (in my own language) but I don't know what it would be in English. Is there any way to use a Longman or an Oxford dictionary to find the word?

The best way would be to look up the word in a bilingual dictionary first. You will find various options. Then you can look up those various options individually in Longman or Oxford to see which one suits your purpose best.
