4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Beginner's Dictionary, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Larousse French English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

Larousse's French-Engligh English-French Dictionary has met all my translating needs in my first two years of French; however, I'm starting to see and use words and idioms not in the dictionary. If you're looking for a portable, catch-almost-all dictionary, this is it. If you're studying French for the long haul and are looking for a desk reference, try the Concise edition.

For pete's sake, buy the Larousse Concise French-English, it's like ten bucks or cheaper used, but get the modern one, with the red and blue covers, unless you're a linguistics student or have some other pressing reason. The Lr. Concise is a terrific dictionary in large part because it can translate modern obscure French abbreviations like "SDF" (sans domicile fixée=homeless) and other things American-based bilinguals don't catch--Larousse is one of the two principal French dictionary publishers.
And once you can read French, splurge on the Le Petit Larousse Illustré, it's sort of a cross between a dictionary and an encyclopedia, with awesome illustrations and maps.
But don't get this...

This review is from: Larousse French English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

Quite what I should have expected. I have't purchased too many things on-line in the past, but I must have missed some fine print. I thought the disclosed retail price of the book was like 5.00, so I felt I was getting a deal. The book was printed in the 1940's and it's original cover price was 49 cents. I'm slightly perturbed, but I'm using the book in school nevertheless.
