He desired(渴望) to study law, but his parents didn't have more money to send him to school. So, in order to make a living, Noah taught in Glastonbury, Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law.

For 100 years, Noah's book taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noah's book to teach his granddaughter to read.
When Noah was 43, he started writing the first American dictionary. He did that because Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced and used words differently. He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren't in English dictionaries like skunk and squash. He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary. When Noah accomplished(完成) his dictionary in 1828, at the age of 70, the first American dictionary came out. It had 70,000 words in it.
Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws, wrote textbooks, Americanized the English language, and edited magazines. When Noah Webster passed away in 1843, he was considered as an American hero.
