  Containing over 200 000 words and phrases, the Hodder Larousse Compact French Dictionary is a brand new dictionary reflecting how French and English is written and spoken today. Providing a clear layout and language set in context, the dictionary covers thousands of set phrases used throughout the Francophone world. In order to help the user when speaking or writing in the foreign language, the dictionary contains a number of usage notes at the foot of the page. These notes show typical expressions and structures, such as expressing opinions, giving advice or making a complaint, and also, in more specific contexts such as a job interview, or when chairing a meeting - skills that are required by any post-16 student. The emphasis on communication is developed further in a 64-page communication guide. Here practical help is given in communicating in French by letter, e-mail, telephone and even text-messaging. The aim of the Hodder Larousse Compact French Dictionary is to offer a new educational communication tool that goes beyone the traditional bilingual dictionary; one that has been developed for the post-16 student market.
