Like the "Compact Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary", this pocket version is aimed exclusively at the native English learner of French. The English-French side of the dictionary offers a higher level of phrasal and idiomatic exemplification and encoding guidance than the French-English side, which serves primarily as a word-list for decoding purposes. All metalanguage is in English.
