 More of a traveler's dictionary November 26, 2008
Donna Di Giacomo (Philadelphia, PA)
I understand the gripes of both beginning and advanced students of French. I have taken two elementary French courses so far and this dictionary has been useful for the second half, especially with the illustrations of family relationships, the classroom, the dormitory, among many others, but the use of sentences along with the definitions could really confuse beginning students (as it has me at times) if they are not familiar with French sentence construction to know why the example was written the way it was.
Even though this is not a textbook, there is no mention of verb conjugation, which is extremely important in any language, and also pointing out the big differences between the present, past-tense and imperative. Just looking at this dictionary will result in someone being able to identify objects and speak in incomplete sentences - just enough to be (barely) understood by someone who's fluent.
Sure, the format's easy on the eyes, but the content itself can be confusing to the beginner and not of much help to the advanced (as we've seen on this page).
I knew I should have stuck with Merriam Webster. - Donna Di Giacomo
 good dictionary for elementary May 9, 2008
Xu Zheng Yan (Tianjin,China)
the color is easy on eye to read and the fomat is very nice.although it has only more than 20000 definitions and phrases,it is enough for elementary students of French.the definition is such beriefly and the words which has been collected in it are good for survival.I feel you must to prepare a large dictionary after your start level.but it is so good,so I give it 5 stars.

a very nice and helpful dictionary for all students. not overloaded with too many examples and translations. very good for beginners.
 Great format but not very useful to beginners January 24, 2008
Gonzago (Hoboken, NJ)
As a student fairly new to French I scoured my local BN for a good English-French dictionary for beginners and settled on this one due to its format. After using the dictionary for only a few weeks I cannot overstate my disappointment. I reach for it constantly, and roughly 60% of the time, the dictionary fails to include a word I need as part of my "beginner 2" class at the Alliance Francaise. In hindsight, the format for this volume is not so much better than other dictionaries that it merits purchasing. I would pass on this one and get something more comprehensive with less bells and whistles.
Great for Beginners!!! January 20, 2008
As a raw beginner in French, I found this book to be extremely useful. It has complete color illustrations, the words being looked up are high-lighted, and the definitions are clear and precise. Perfect for anyone just starting out in learning the language.
