Book Reviews of Larousse Advanced Dictionary: French-English/English-French (Larousse Bilingual Dictionaries) (French Edition)

Book Review: Like sending in the Varsity squad
Summary: 5 Stars

I am in the midpoint of my third semester of university-level French. Up to this point, I have been reasonably satisfied with using paperback French-English dictionaries. I have four of the paperbacks by different publishers. I have found that as you get into a level of course work that is more writing-intensive, you find that the French-English dictionaries that were the mainstay of your existence in high school and university French 101 and 102 are not meeting your needs. That is to say, I had gotten to the point where I could not find French equivalents of English words in my standard paperback dictionary. You know, when you have a course that requires a lot of writing, you need to be specific with the right words. For me, the Larousse Advanced Dictionary was like calling in the Varsity squad. It was like telling myself "the cavalry has arrived!" and that I will get the word or words that I need.

At this point in my education, this is the dictionary I need *right now*. It may be too advanced for most high school or university beginning French students, but it is just right for me *right now.* This is like the Abrams main battle tank of dictionaries. Or should I call it a "Dreadnought"? The ability to have the right word is important to me. Note that it is a big book, and you will not be carrying it to class. However, it is great to have in your room as a reference tool. It will help you find the right word. I would recommend this for library reference collections and upper-level students.
