"You can never have too many langauge dictionaries but some are better than others, and if I had to choose one, it would be the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary. Any library supporting French langauge studies needs to provide this reference work to its public."--Against the Grain

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must have' for advanced course 20 Jun 2009
Format:Hardcover
Im into the second year of open university French and was finding the smaller versions didn't have the translations I needed. This book is brilliant...it hasn't failed to provide translations for more unusual words yet. The grammar section etc is very helpful.

I bought this dictionary without really assessing the market because I trusted an Oxford dictionary to be the best. Since then I have used the equivilant Collins-Robert (CR) dictionary in school, and while that in itself is very good, I'm still glad that I bought Oxford-Hachette. The typeface is clear, it has a vast array of sample letters, bills, contracts etc. in the middle section to assist people such as students who are going to live in France, and most importantly it has a HUGE range of vocabulary. Despite being cheaper than CR, it actually appears thicker, and it also comes with an accurate pronunciation CD-ROM. There isn't much to choose between them in terms of vocab, but I'd choose Oxford-Hachette over Collins-Robert simply because of the many helpful extras and it being a bit cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Typeface to Enjoy 5 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
Oxford have topped the French-English dictionary charts with this latest offering. At last, a publisher has given some thought to we ageing profs who have to use bi-lingual dictionaries in our work. The font of the typeface is actually readable. It must be a first.

Another great idea is a grey printed tab for each letter of the alphabet which acts as a fast way into the dictionary without cretaing a tear-point like the old cut-out thumb indices. An interesting by-product is that at a glance you can see which letter of the alphabet is the most common first letter for French words.

What else do I like? Ah, yes the panel inserts with greater background info on modal auxiliaries, meaurement, time etc.

What haven't they done? Still no translation into English of what the verb parts mean in the beautifully clear verb tables at the back. Then again I don't know a grammar book or a dictionary that has realised how useful this would be to learners. When will a publisher think of this? que il eut ete aime

Five out of five for Oxford Hachette.

Good but on the whole I still prefer the Collins Robert - cheaper and easier to use. I found some things listed in the CR which weren't in the OH.
