Product Description

Review
Better design and increased readability ... the sign-posting is better differentiated from the text, and the eye finds its way more easily through the pages ... excellent cultural information (French Language Studies )

Revolutionary . . . there is a wonderful section explaining the mysteries of French small ads ... Best of all, though, are the explanations of French idioms (The Independent )

Product Description
Acclaimed by language professionals the world over, the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary leads the way in modern bilingual lexicography. The first ever French dictionary to be entirely compiled based on the statistical evidence of vast electronic databanks of real language, both written and spoken, it is the most comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date dictionary of French and English available today. The previous edition was described by the Independent as 'revolutionary'. This major new edition provides new up-to-date vocabulary, a new open design, in-text cultural notes on many aspects of the French-speaking world, from political and educational systems, to festivals and national newspapers, as well as a revised correspondence section that provides many model letters, extensive information on business correspondence via email and the internet. It is the most up-to-date and complete French dictionary of its size - a must for any serious student of the French language. The dictionary comes with the ultimate pronunciation guide: a FREE CD-ROM that enables you to type in a word or phrase, or paste in text from the web, and hear it spoken back to you in perfect French (selected markets only).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Typeface to Enjoy, 5 Nov 2001
By Charlie Mansfield "Charlie Mansfield" (Edimbourg, Ecosse) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dictionary; better than Collins and cheaper too!, 12 Nov 2008
By Spencer (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
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.
