Best French English Dictionary Around

My friend bought this dictionary before we left to study in France for 3 1/2 months. I loved it so much for the accuracy of current French words that the French actually use that I bought it when I returned. I know two other people who went and bought this dictionary as well because it was so good. It also has a useful grammar section in the back for quick reference.

Great for French Students

This dictionary is awesome for French students of all levels. Detailed definitions. Helpful grammar section in the end. Blips of cultural info scattered here and there. A must-have for all French lovers!

pourquoi ne l'aimez-vous pas alors?

I own this Dictionary, and it is my second french dic. after the Collins Gem pocket one. This dic. is complete enough to satisfy all the words I need to look up, was a great grammar section, tells usage and examples of important words and has cultural highlights. To refuke what the other reviews say, I've had mine for a year, I use it often, and her spine and pages are still well intact. Maybe I was lucky, but mine is used and no where close to falling apart. Ça me semble que vous avez un peu de mal change là, n'est-ce pas?

Incredibly useful

For me this dictionary has it all. It has useful usage guides for most of the words and the appendix which is quite large really breaks down the whole grammar structure and such with real ease that helps to flesh out the ideas and thoughts I want to express effectively.
