4.0 out of 5 stars Essential book for any Cajun enthusiast, November 21, 2002
By Kevin Fontenot (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Rev. Daigle's accomplishment in compiling this dictionary of the Cajun language can not be underestimated. The dictionary is easy to use and essential to learning Cajun French. Lovers of Cajun music will find the dictionary very useful for researching lyrics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but could be improved just slightly, June 4, 2007
By David L. Billiot (Formerly New Orleans, now Kitakyushu Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found this dictionary to be a very valuable resource as I plot my way to learning to correctly write Louisiana French. One think I will mention is that a lot of words you would expect to be part of the dicionary are not there such as the correct way to say Louisianians in Cajun. I can only assume that the authors overlooked it simply by thinking that everyone already knew what that was.
