3.0 out of 5 stars
An acceptable pocket dictionary, though I rather prefer the Collins,
This review is from: Oxford French Minidictionary (Paperback)
The OXFORD FRENCH MINI DICTIONARY is one of the most popular pocket dictionaries for French on the market. It contains 40,000 words and phrases, about the same as other options, but its strong points are the little phrase book in between the French-English and English-French sections, and the substantial guide to French verbs at the end. It also gives definitions of terms unique to French culture, like "grand ecole" and "Rentre". The pronunciation of each French listing is given in International Phonetic Alphabet transcription. I must say, though, that in terms of paper and binding, as well as layout, I prefer the Collins Gem dictionaries.
The OXFORD FRENCH MINI DICTIONARY is suitable for classroom use or--as it weighs very little--tourism. However, it doesn't suffice for reading even a fairly ordinary long text in French. For reading books, you should invest in a desk dictionary as well. |
