5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to learn and re-learn French, 12 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: French English Bilingual Visual Dictionary (DK Visual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
If, like most people you learn by visual references, then you'll find this book a great way to increase your French vocabulary. Each word has a picture associated with it, which I find makes it much easier to learn from.

Words are grouped by subject, and not alphabetically. So it's not a good dictionary (although there is an index), but it is good if you want to increase your vocabulary in certain areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent visual reference, 31 Mar 2009
This review is from: French English Bilingual Visual Dictionary (DK Visual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
As a graduate of french I wish this book had been available at the time I was learning the language. It really is excellent and it's hard to explain how good it is as it just has the same words in it as any other dictionary.

However the visual approach coupled with the compartmentalisation into intuitive categories which largely map to activities/events in daily life is alluring and persuasive - to the point that when you pick it up you almost don't want to put it down because you're drawn into looking at all the related words of a topic. In short, where with a traditional dictionary you use it to look up individual words, the visual french approach allows you to do the same but then see all the related vocabulary pointed out to you, e.g. you want to know what eyebrow is in french - no problem, but then you get to see the words for all the other features of the face - and body if you want.

Two final things. 1) a small criticism - for words beginning with a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth getting, 18 Nov 2007
This review is from: French English Bilingual Visual Dictionary (DK Visual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
This book is really useful especially when shopping - if you don't feel confident enough to attempt the pronunciation you can point to the picture to make yourself understood. As has been mentioned it will help to enlarge your vocabulary. This book attracted much interest from friends and family - I thought I might not get it back. Buy it, you won't regret it, as they say, a picture says a thousand words.

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
