Product Description

French Language Studies

"Clearer typefaces and a more open page layout, with sub-headings set down, make for easier consultation, while navigation through the alphabetical listings is aided by the grey bars on the outside margin which provide a thumb-index effect ... practical, clear and easy to consult"


Product Description

Derived from the "Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary", this dictionary represents a new approach to language learning. Unlike most French dictionaries, it is designed specifically to meet the needs of the English-speaking user. Grammar notes, translation guidelines, and meaning contexts are given in English throughout and the rigorous selection of entries which make up its wide-ranging coverage ensures that users have detailed treatment of all the words and phrases they need at this level. The book is intended for lower intermediate students at GCSE level; adult learners who have progressed beyond the basics; and general and business users who need a practical general-purpose desk dictionary.

4.0 out of 5 stars In France with this dictionary, 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Having now lived in France for just over one year and still needing to drastically improve my comprehension of the French language, I felt it would be useful to have a quality pocket dictionary to complement the large hard back version kept at home, thus allowing me to check the meaning of words as I came across them. Small travel guides are fine for most day to day activities, such as restaurant menu translation, travel related information etc. however you are forever coming across words that you don't understand or fully understand in their context. I have found this dictionary very comprehensive and invaluable as a translation aid, its provision of example word usage helps you to understand the different meanings and context within a sentence or phrase. In addition to its standard French to English and English to French translations, I also found it's sections on areas such as public holiday's, cultural information and letter writing advice very useful - an added bonus. My only two criticisms about the dictionary are one, its size and possibly its weight. The title "pocket .... dictionary" is perhaps a little misleading, it measurements are approximately 13 x 19.5 x 4.5cm and it weighs 0.75Kg, at touch too large to carry in one's pocket as you go about your daily business. In saying that it's fine for keeping in the car or carrying in a small day rucksack and perfect as a second dictionary for the office. Secondly, as a dictionary intended for "pocket" use, a version with a flexible binding as opposed to standard paper back would be perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Won't fit in your pocket..., 16 Mar 2006
By RogMc (Reading UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: Plus Grammar, Culture, Communication (Paperback)
A word of warning, this book is not exactly a pocket edition. I've just received my copy today and it is huge. I was expecting a handy pocket dictionary, but instead it is a mighty 8" x 5" and 2" thick.

It may well be a great dictionary, but don't expect to carry it around in your pocket. Hence, 4 Stars for the misleading title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big pocket needed!, 8 May 2009
By Dr. E. J. Elliott "ellojohn" (Southampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pocket Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: Plus Grammar, Culture, Communication (Paperback)
This Hachette is comprehensive and really easy to use. I purchased it for the Open University French course. You would need a large pocket sizewise to accommodate it but it is no drain on the pocket and the price is excellent. Very good value.
