The Oxford Beginner's French Dictionary is an innovative guide to learning French. Designed specifically for English-speaking adult learners who are either learning from scratch or refreshing lost language skills, it offers an easy to use dictionary, extra help with vocabulary, and essential information on living and interacting in the French-speaking world.

The dictionary is exceptionally easy to use, because it moves away from the traditional dictionary layout. All main translations are preceded by an equals sign so that they are instantly identifiable, and all parts of the entry are spelt out in full, avoiding confusing jargon and abbreviations. Grammar and usage notes throughout the text warn of possible translation pitfalls, and thousands of example phrases show how the language is used in context.

The 70-page Learning and Lifestyle Kit gives key information on both the French language, with a list of the words you really need to know, grammar help, and verb tables, and on life in the French-speaking world: background information on lifestyle and culture, tips on etiquette and interaction in the language, and also a phrasefinder for use when travelling.

The Oxford Beginner's French Dictionary is your essential companion to learning French.

Readership: Designed to meet the needs of English-speakers beginning or refreshing a foreign language: 16+, Further Education students, and adult learners.
