Larousse French Dictionary (French and English Edition)

I bought this English and French dictionary for myself. It's a great reference book to help you translate from English to French!

At more than 2" thick, this is the real deal with 260,000+ words, expressions and translations.The print may be too small for some and the shiny strong paper cover with thick sheets, will not wear well if using constantly. If traveling, I would suggest a smaller version...unless you stick with a phone app.

🥰 thank you I like it

I bought this concise French dictionary for my granddaughter as she studies French in school. She keeps it at home for reference. I have one myself so we can converse and it keeps my French fluent as I seldom speak it outside of family. It's also a big help to me when I do crossword puzzles or run across a term I'm not familiar with in a book I'm reading. Totalement utile! (Very useful!)

This bilingual dictionary is much larger than one I bought decades ago. It has some great features, including sample sentences. These are particularly useful when the French or English expressions do not translate literally. Another valuable tool are over 100 verb conjugations on the center of the book.The word "concise" in the title is misleading. This is very comprehensive and best used as a reference source, not a travel companion.

I was visiting my father and missed reading French novels to keep my French up.So, I ordered this thick Larousse and found the type easy to read.I realized later I didn't need the English translation to French, and might order just a French to English dictionary next time which would be smaller and less cumbersome to hold and pack in a suitcase.So, consider what you're going to use this for. If it's just for translating French to English, you may wish to look for a book which does that.I was very pleased with this - but only used the front half of the book.

I had a version of this dictionary when I studied French in high school and college but this one is a deluxe version. It has many grammar notes and verb conjugations in the book. It is also updated with current spelling and accent mark changes along with a list of abbreviations. Am finally going to Paris next year so I wanted to get back into the language. This book will surely help a lot.
