Synopsis

The 21st Century French-English/English-French Dictionary is an invaluable reference source for today's students, business people and travelers, providing essential information in an easy-to-use format.  It is one of four books in the new 21st Century line of foreign dictionaries, which also includes:

German-English/English-German

Spanish-English/English-Spanish

Italian-English/English-Italian

The dual format of these dictionaries eliminates the need to use two dictionaries.  Students can use The 21st Century French-English/English-French Dictionary to find the English translation of an unfamiliar French word--and to discover the correct way to express a certain English phrase in French.  Because each entry is listed in both French and English, this dictionary is useful for every situation, for business people checking the terms of a contract on an international deal, to foreign exchange students getting settled into a French dormitory, and to tourists trying to understand the items on a menu.

The 21st Century French/English-English/French Dictionary provides individual entries in a concise, easy-to-follow format, with clear pronunciation guides and succinct definitions.  This is the most up-to-date, reliable French to English, English to French dictionary on the market, and will be an indispensible tool for every occasion.

About this title

Review:

No student of French can afford to be without a good bilingual dictionary. What separates the 21st Century French-English/English-French Dictionary from the pack are its mercifully concise and to-the-point definitions, offering the important details of meaning and usage without resorting to the usual long-winded diction of many of its competitors. Although it defines more than 30,000 vocabulary terms and offers complete pronunciation and dual-punctuation guides, the 21st Century Dictionary weighs in at a mere 460 pages. Its compact size means this is one dictionary that's meant to be used on the fly rather than left gathering dust on the top of your desk. What's more, its translations and usage tips are some of the most up-to-date available.
