Derived from the "Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary", this dictionary represents a new approach to language learning. Unlike most French dictionaries, it is designed specifically to meet the needs of the English-speaking user. Grammar notes, translation guidelines, and meaning contexts are given in English throughout and the rigorous selection of entries which make up its wide-ranging coverage ensures that users have detailed treatment of all the words and phrases they need at this level. The book is intended for lower intermediate students at GCSE level; adult learners who have progressed beyond the basics; and general and business users who need a practical general-purpose desk dictionary.
