This dictionary is small and compact and can fit in a jacket pocket. It has a comprehensive list of words and each entry has valuable information that is provided. The dictionary should help the reader in learning and understanding modern French. The author uses various typefaces, sizes of type, symbols and abbreviations to present information. Common expressions in which a word appears are often shown which assist the reader in the learning process. The phonetic expression of each headword is given which is very important since the French words often sound very different from similar English words. Key words, for example those which occur frequently or having several different meanings, are emphasized and indicated. I like the dictionary because it is very compact yet packed with valuable information as well as containing almost all the words one is likely to encounter when studying French.
