 Great Product Even for Beginners December 30, 2008
A. Soltanian (United States)
I bought this CD a year ago. I have been using it extensively to expand my vocabulary. One good aspect of this product is that it makes it very easy to look up a word that you find on internet. You can launch the dictionary and then simply go to the article and double click on any word. It automatically copies the word to the dictionary and goes to the meaning. This makes the translation process very fast and efficient. br / br /
 Oxford French Dictionary December 22, 2008
Sarah Marquez Cordova (USA)
I bought this dictionary for my little brother who is currently learning french at school. I thought it would help him with the vocabulary words that the teachers give him. All in all, he says it helps him a lot but there are a lot of words that he doesn't find.

Great French Dictionary October 9, 2008

The Oxford Hachette French/English-English/French Dictionary (Fourth Edition) is a great dictionary in every sense of the word, one that will probably provide for most if not all of your dictionary needs with regard to the French language (or to the English--both American and British--if you are francophone). Besides the usual definitions, including slang and technical terms, there are all sorts of additional goodies, including extensive cultural notes, notes on grammatical usage and pronunciation,including special difficulties of French and English, French verbs and English irregular verbs, model letters related to general and business correspondence (including looking for a job), electronic text messaging, using email and the Internet, telephone language and manners and more. All this plus 360,000 words and phrases and 550,000 translations--in fact, the dictionary has been designed especially to aid in translation work. A special bonus is a guide to doing the paperwork for renting, buying and living in France, as well as a guide for living in an anglophone country.An audio pronunciation guide, Speak French, comes as a free CD with the dictionary. All in all, a lot for your money, but be forewarned: this is definitely not a dictionary you will want to carry in your book bag or take on tour in France. It's a desk dictionary weighing somewhat over six pounds, but it is six pounds of truly concentrated and useful information--well worth the relatively modest price.
