The Concise Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary

Based on the highly acclaimed Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary, described by the Independent as `revolutionary', this dictionary provides students at intermediate level with an authoritative guide to French language and culture. The result of ground-breaking developments in bilingual dictionary-making, it is compiled entirely from the evidence of vast electronic databanks of every type of written and spoken French and English.
Its features include:
* Detailed in-text boxes cover topics such as numbers, nationalities, measurements, games and sports, and forms of address. These boxes review and summarize the function and usage of the vocabulary and word patterns of those essential language areas.

* An entirely new thematic wordfinder covers all the essential vocabulary in key topics and is specially designed as a reference section for writing

* A new guide to email and the Internet gives a unique gateway to French culture
