An unusually good dictionary,
By
This review is from: Larousse Pocket Student Dictionary French-English/ English-French (Paperback)
The great part about this dictionary is the usage example(s) for virtually every entry. In addition, the print size is large enough so that even us oldies have a fighting chance of being able to read it on the run. The negative issues include the size ' it would take a rather large and sturdy pocket for this book ' and the omissions (can't be helped, I suppose, for a so-called pocket edition).

Excellent for New French Students!!!!,
By Suzanne Graf "Suz Graf" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Larousse Pocket Student Dictionary French-English/ English-French (Paperback)
This dictionary is great for beginners!It provides literal translations like all language dictionaries, but also provides examples of how to use it in a sentence. Usually each word has 2 or 3 example phrases or sentences. The best part is that the examples usually express what you are trying to say anyway. For example, if you were to look up umbrella. It may provide the example, "It looks like it's going to rain. You should take your umbrella." ...or if you looked up the word price, it would say "What is the price of this item?" This is very helpful for two reasons. Not only does it provide other complimentary words, but it gives you the context in how it should be used. i.e., As the sentence structure is different in French, you will not only learn the meaning of the word, but also how to use it properly. I spent 7 weeks in Paris taking intensive French lessons. This light weight dictionary was my bible for the first several weeks. However, as you become more advanced, it may not contain all the difficult words you want. At that time you may need to graduate to a regular dictionary. ...but for beginner and intermediate level, this is a great start. I didn't outgrow it until 5 or 6 weeks into intensive daily French lessons. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

do not buy this dictionary,

This review is from: Larousse Pocket Student Dictionary French-English/ English-French (Paperback)
my old dictionary just broke so i bought this one because it had good reviews. absolutely false. i'm furious. i just received this yesterday, and i'm sitting here trying to do my french homework and absolutely NONE of the words i need are in this book. maybe this would work for a beginner who doesn't need to know any important words in the french language, but if you've taken more than a year of french forget this dictionary. it's absolutely worthless. the title should say dictionary for beginners. even the print makes it look like it's for 10 year olds.

Actually just a regular pocket french dictionary works better for me. I didn't think the lay out was all that handy.
