Hmmm...maybe it's supposed to be like this? Not sure, but when I tried to use this dictionary, I noticed the pages were out of order and many were upside down and backwards! I still use it, but it does take extra time to find what I'm looking for when it lands on a misbound page. I'm not paying money to return it.
Rating: - excellent french aid
My high school freshman really liked this dictionary for her French III class to aid her in writing and speaking.
Rating: - Je l'aime; vous l'aimerez aussi.
Ce dictionnaire vous offre une petite taille, un texte lisible, plusieurs entrées pour chaque mot équivoque, et pas mal de phrases utiles. Il suffit pour les nouvelles et pour la plupart des textes, mais pour les lectures plus littéraires, bien sûr, il faudra que le lecteur recoure à un dictionnaire comme Collins Robert French Unabridged Dictionary, 8th Edition.
Rating: - Great addition to lessons
Fairly easy to understand - contains a lot of information - not too confusing. I think it is a really good addition to audio lessons, or to find a quick phrase while traveling.
Rating: - Best French Dictionary for the Anglophone
Simply put, this is the best French-English/English-French dictionary I've found yet. Even in the more concise editions, there isn't often a word or translation missing. It is sturdy, compact, and easy to use, making it ideal for even the beginning student or traveler (and for the more advanced student, this company also puts out an excellent French language dictionary). Forget any other French/English dictionary--this is the best you'll find. Whoever says that this dictionary is anything less than superb and fit for its purpose ought to be stuck trying to learn Russian from one of those "Living Language" courses--eeek!
