There are over 50,000 words and phrases in this wonderful French to English and English to French Dictionary. Colloquial and technical words are also included. The meanings and usage is clearly explained and there is an easy-to-use pronunciation guide.

The first page shows a few simple rules to remember, like when you see "eh" it will be pronounced "e" as in bed or "ah" will say "a" as in far, but will sound shorter.

To learn useful sentences, more pronunciation and everyday phrases look for "French Phrase Book" by Dorling Kindersley. It has essential words and phrases for travelers.

After you listen to the tape and look up a few words in the dictionary you won't be saying: "Je ne parle pas francais." Instead you might be saying...."Je voudrais louer une bicyclette" (I would like to rent a bike) so you can ride around and see the countryside in Provence.

Very reasonable price, excellent customer service, fast shipping. The book .. well, I don't think I'll use it. I bought a translation book first to see if it made any sense for me to buy an electronic language translator. The dictionary made me realize an electronic translator would be no better than a printed dictionary.
