Note: I'm sure it came up before, feel free to link me to the relevant thread... but unfortunately I can't see the search function.


I'm trying to select decent dictionaries, and hope for some advice; the dictionaries I am looking for are French-English-French, French explaining, Korean-English-Korean, Russian-English-Russian...

Which dictionaries/publishers would you recommend? I've already heard that the Collins-Robert Unabridged French-English dictionary is one of the best, any comments on that?

Thank you.

The first is french definitions and I have it in my Firefox search box.

The second is a portal I send you to the languages page because there is a page for english and onother for american. This site is more for french speakers who learn X but dictionaries are usefull for learning french too.

Thank you,

just to note (forgot to) I'm looking for print dictionaries... call me old fashion, but there is nothing that can beat the smell of actual pages to incite the mind to study... :)

All my printed french dictionaries were from Larousse. Some people prefer Robert.
As for translations I had some Harraps things. Larousse makes translation dictionaries too.
