Overview

French is the second most commonly taught foreign language in American schools. The Firefly French/English Visual Dictionary shows graphically what other dictionaries can only describe in words. Now updated, it includes terms that have entered the vocabulary of both languages since the title was first published in 2006. More than 3,600 handsome annotated illustrations describe more than 20,000 terms, making identification quick and accurate. French terms are identified by gender, and two extensive indexes, one English and another in French, make navigation simple, so finding a word or term in either language is fast. This revised edition of The Firefly Compact French/English Visual Dictionary is indispensable for the French-language student, the bilingual household and the office.
