As with the Webster's New World Spanish and Italian dictionaries, this is excellent. I find everything I look for and more. There is the added advantage of a pronunciation guide for the English and French entries, a feature sadly lacking in many other dictionaries.

When I got this dictionary,I got pleased with it.That was not too large,detailed,academical and literatural,but if you are new in French,you don't need another one.This is very easy-searching and general for French learner.If you are not professional in French,you mustn't search the larger one.

I already have the Italian and German versions of the above and on that basis bought this title. I had carefully perused the many concise dictionaries available and found Webster's superior. The text is clear and easy to read, the format is comfortable to use and basically it meets my needs.
The special grammar and communication guides in the center are well done and useful.

Pretty much anything you want to translate, you will find it here.
Even all the slang and vulgarities.
Except for the most outlandish slang words, all are in here.
Now I am not one to learn a language just to know how to say bad things, but if needed...
There is even a section for things like writing resumes [CV], faxes, and other business French things.

This is the only French dictionary you will ever need.

Don't let the word concise fool you, this is one hefty dictionary. My own fault for not looking at the product dimensions but if you are hoping to carry this anywhere, good luck. I was hoping for something I could take to class, but this thing is too big. However seems complete and is easy to use.
