Webster's New World French Dictionary: French/English English/French

Rating:
Summary: Finest paperback french dictionary.
Review: Although, I am always looking for a better dictionary, I have been very pleased with this one. It rates better than the larousse, which is also a good dictionary. The other dictionaries should not even be consulted...I think the french department at OSU recommends this one. It does matter what dictionary you are using. What I like about this one is that it seems to be equally french and english rather than just an english perspective on French. Therefore it is easier to translate back and forth rather than in just one direction, presumably French to English.

Review: This is one of the best concise French-English / English-French dictionaries available. It is small enough to be portable while large enough to be complete. The dictionary lacks a fair bit of culinary and other specialty vocabulary, but I don't expect such minutiae from a dictionary this size. Entries are easy to read, and phrases are not difficult to find. The Webster's New World is my primary foreign language dictionary, and I am rarely disappointed by it.
