For those studying French at GCSE standard or higher this is a must-have dictionary.
It not only gives you the translation of thousands words, but each word has several phrases and sentences, which include the word in it, eg: if you look up the word 'rubbish', it gives you the French for sentences such as 'this shop sells a lot of rubbish'. It also gives you the French for other words linked to 'rubbish' such as 'household rubbish'.
There is also a section called 'Language In Use', which gives the French for sentences on subjects such as opinions,explanations, job applications,apologies etc.
You get a free CD-ROM with it, which helps you with the pronunciation.
