They are good. I have several. They, and pocket-sized dictionaries in general, are well suited to my study style. I like to carry them around, looking at them in spare moments. Also worthy of mention is their "Lilliput" series, which is a tiny booklet. I picked up a Latin-German one for about 2 Euro, in Germany. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have both Oxford mini-dictionary and Oxford big one, and I have a Cambridge dictionary CD-Rom , but I prefer Oxford, and there is also Larousse, which has very commodious shelf of languages, and it's widely renown as a top dictionary .

My favorite french-only dictionary is absolutely the Multidictionnaire de la langue française by Marie-Eva de Villers.
In my experience, it has been better and more useful than Larousse or Le petit Robert. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary has been my BIBLE since high school, still love it!
Even though my classmate used to say: 'Longman knows best, go ask Longman' :P But I do owe a pocket edition of Oxford Thesaurus and Webster's Spelling Dictionary. Edited by Aquedita on 06 August 2009 at 8:39pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
