Improve your French, express your ideas better,
By M. B. Alcat "Curiosity killed the cat, but sa... (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Oxford-Hachette Concise French Dictionary: French-English, English-French (Hardcover)
If you are studying French and need urgent help, don't waste your time and buy this dictionary now !. Do you think I'm a little overenthusiastic?. By no means!!. This dictionary is an essential "survival tool" if you want (or are forced to) learn French. To start with, it is very easy to use, even for beginners. Moreover, it includes up-to-date vocabulary, so if you go to France you won't end up speaking as the French used to speak, 50 years ago. As if that were not enough, it also has many examples of different kinds of correspondence you might need to write (for example, in order to make a complaint, or to decline an invitation). However, my favorite feature is a thematic wordfinder that helps the reader to express his ideas more easily. In the thematic wordfinder you will find the expressions that aid you when you need to structure your essays, and lists of vocabulary arranged according to themes. I think everybody "suffers" when his teacher gives him, as homework, a composition on natural disasters, commerce or something like that. The ideas are there, but you just cannot find the words... Well, with the wordfinder that is quite simple. In my opinion, this particular feature is useful not only for students of French, but also for students that have to write an essay in their native language about a subject that they don't know too much about. By taking advantage of the fact that this dictionary is bilingual, they can use adequate and specific language regarding the theme. All in all, I highly recommend this dictionary. It will help you to improve your French, and you will learn to express your ideas better :) Belen Alcat

Excellent dictionary -- also in CD-Rom!,
By e-nonymous "e-nonymous" (Great Lakes region) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford-Hachette Concise French Dictionary: French-English, English-French (Hardcover)
An excellent dictionary--Did you know that this also comes in a CD-Rom format that you can load onto your hard-drive? The CD-Rom version omits the sections on correspondence, French grammar, French pronunciation, and only includes the dictionary, but this is still a terrific help to anyone who works with French documents -- either reading or translating -- while on the computer! Look for "The Pop-up Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary." It includes 250,000 translations, just like the hardcover book edition. Incidently, Oxford University Press also makes CD-Rom dual language versions of EVERY European language. The easiest to find in North America are English, French-English, Spanish-English, and German-English, and these are all quite affordable.

The first bilingual dictionary to be compiled entirely from electronic databases of current language, making it the most comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date reference available. The new edition provides the most recent vocabulary for both French and English. Best for the beginner who want to learn french fast.
