Larousse D Poche

This dicitionary is most useful as a single source to intermediate or advanced users of French as a second language. Fluent users of the language may find this useful as a portable adjunct to other, more specific dictionaries. Beyond the English-French/French-English dictionaries is the single-language dictionary, and the LaRousse de Poche is a hefty, but still portable, reliable, and respected source. It is up-to-date, and older usages have been deleted. Standard to most dictionary style, the tome presents all nuances of words, in numbered groups. Most words include idomatic usages that are then explained in French. The only true lack: any etymologies, though one could presume most entries would read "L > FA" (Latin to ancient French).
