2.0 out of 5 stars
good idea, poorly executed,
This review is from: Oxford Picture Dictionary, Second Edition: English-French (Paperback)
I really like the idea of the book, it teaches you important vocabulary for every day use, devided into useful chapters like "at the restaurant", "household problems and repairs", "the workplace", "tools" and many more. But nonetheless, I think it is not very useful as it only lists the French word and does not give the articles. As everyone who learns French knows, in order to build a sentence, you need to know if it's "le" or "la". I really don't understand what the makers were thinking. You have to look up the articles somewhere else and therefore I can only give this book 2 stars.

This is a wonderful book with both English and French words naming the items on a given picture. It is also a good review for adults trying to hone their French (in my case) skills.

A great, comprehensive way to learn vocabulary, business writing, etc.,

This review is from: Oxford Picture Dictionary, Second Edition: English-French (Paperback)
This revised edition is even better than the first one, which I have used since the 90s. My students/clients really like this book and it is totally in sync, page by page, with the workbook. The bilingual editions are so nice to have--a bonus of this great resource.

One of the most bone headed design flaws...,
By Christopher Barrett "Evil Corgi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oxford Picture Dictionary, Second Edition: English-French (Paperback)
If you want a proper French-English picture dictionary, then go with: Frenchâ English Bilingual Visual Dictionary (DK Visual Dictionaries).Here is why this book is virtually useless: The actual French terms are formatted so that they are less noticeable than the English language terms. In reality that makes this book better for French speakers trying to learn English! Check the look inside tab on the book to see what I am talking about. But for proper language learning, without relying on the translation, it makes little sense to show something and have a bold and large English term with a faint and small French term underneath. Your eyes will automatically focus on the English term instead of the French, thereby causing your brain to link the picture to the English word translated to the French word... The proper way to learn a language is to at some point skip the translation step and look at a picture of, say an apple and know "pomme" without looking at the apple, thinking "apple" then translating it in your head into "pomme". The other issue is with the formatting of the book. Often it makes if very hard to read the way the terms are listed. And the dialogue in the pictures is in English. You would think that this is in fact a book for French speakers to learn English, except that everything in the forward, table of contents, index, etc... is in English. This is a book being targeted to English speakers learning French. So then why do I need to see a picture of somebody saying "Hello" instead of them saying "Bonjour" or "Salut" ? I hate to give it one star, but when I compare this next to the DK book, the choice is obvious. Though the DK book is smaller, it does make it more portable. So please at least check out the DK version before purchasing. It is cheaper, formatted better, portable, and packed with as much or more content than this version. Happy learning!

This serie is a good way to learn english for foreigners, especially adults. The picture vocabulary by theme make it more lively for people who have a hard time staying seated in a classroom the whole day.
