Quillienne - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collins English French Dictionary Vol.1 (French Edition) (Kindle Edition)

Be warned that the Kindle edition splits the English-French and the French-English sections into 2 separate downloads and charges separately for each. In the English-French section, under "About this book," you'll find the words "Some Text." Indeed? It makes me wonder about the conversion process.

Charles of Casper - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Collins English French Dictionary Vol.1 (French Edition) (Kindle Edition)

Kindle buyers beware! Whereas it is customary for foreign language learners to purchase either a monolingual or a two-way dictionary, this version is NEITHER. You only get English to French; so if you wish to read in French and need to look up a word, this is not the book for you. Having now taught foreign languages for 7 years, I find this disingenuous and unhelpful. It ought to state very clearly somewhere that you're receiving only half of a dictionary.
