Larousse Concise Dictionary French English/English French

Rating:
Summary: helpful, readable, comprehensive
Review: I was translating a rather involved and esoteric webpage from French to English and picked this up to supplant a much weaker dictionary; I was not disappointed. It proved to be of great value.

It's big, the entries are easy to work with, it covers slang, it has good pronunciation guides. Would serve one well in commercial, private or educational use.

Summary: Larousse: le meilleur dictionnaire de poche français-anglais
Review: Larousse sets the standard for pocket dictionaries. This "nouveau dictionnaire de poche: français-anglais" is the best small french-english/english-french dictionary one can find. The January, 2000 edition has 120,000 translations, which is 40,000 more than the 1999 editon and well worth the five dollar increase in price. This dictionary is excellent for quick translations and is very up-to-date with usage.

Summary: Classic Winner
Review: This has been my dictionary of choice for over 25 years. It captures the nuances of the french language and translates them into common sense English. Larousse has always been up-to-date in providing current slang and "street" language as is spoken every day in France. A priceless reference.
