Oxford French Dictionary (Hachette) Reviews
Hachette, the very famous and respected French publishing house, in partnership with Oxford, always provides great and easy to use dictionaries and encyclopedias and this one is no exception. Not only does it give you both US and GB usages but it also gives you examples, idioms and phrases. I'm loving it. You never have to minimize your document to open the dictionary. You can be working on a document, reading an article or listening to the radio and when you're curious about a word, you just have to type it in the little window, or put your cursor over it and voilą. I have several bilingual dictionaries on my computer and this one is probably the easiest to use, thanks to the pop-up window that stays in the right corner of your screen, always available and always ready.
Still, it's a good value. You don't have to open a separate dictionary and type the word in to see the definition. I love the format of this dictionary: you don't even have to boot the dictionary up you just double-click on a word on any webpage or document you're viewing, whether it's in French or English, and a little window pops up, giving the definition in the corresponding language. The only time this dictionary makes you type a French word in is when there is a definite article attached (l'), in which case it doesn't recognize the word. Groovy. It happens that I also have the Italian and Spanish versions, so when I click on an English word, three little windows pop open one for each language.
