Je pense acheter le robert super senior (français-anglais), mais avant de l\'acheter, j\'aimerais être sur que c\'est meilleur que le robert senior.



Ou, sinon, s\'il existe un autre dico qu\'on pense franchement meilleur encore.



Merci pour l\'aide.

I love it Jan 28, 2002

I bought it Theodore and don\'t regret it at all. There are a lot more terms than the standard version and I like having two separate volumes. I always liked Robert-Collins and don\'t know of a better general use bilingual French-English dictionary. In fact on my first day at university we were given a stern warning - not to buy Harraps. Funnily enough, lots of people in France seem to think it\'s the best. I personally can\'t believe how many things it gets wrong and how old-fashioned it sounds... See more

I just wish the Robert and Collins existed in electronic form. ▲ Collapse

super senior is worth it Jan 28, 2002

I\'d say the super senior is worth the extra pennies. I\'ve been using both volumes for a while and, while I can\'t say I know the other version, I do appreciate the super senior as a general use dictionary. I can also confirm the warning concerning the Harraps - one of our professors said it\'s just about good enough for standing on to get other dictionaries off a high shelf or for sitting little children.

Three cheers for the Robert & Collins Jan 28, 2002

Je ne suis vaiment pas fana du Harraps. Tout comme Colin, on nous \"vendait\" le R&C dès notre entrée en fac (1980) et nous proposait de ne plus ouvrir le Harraps. J\'ai eu l\'occasion de consulter le Harraps de temps à autre et j\'ai souvent été déçue, voire surprise. J\'en ai même ri. On y trouve des termes que l\'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs - même pas en Angleterre. C\'est dire...

Fully agree! Feb 3, 2002

It is a wonderful dictionary! Every French/English translator should have it!



Here\'s the ISBN number (at least the one on my copy): 0-00-470246-8 (that\'s the French-English volume only).

Where can you buy that? The only \"senior\" I found (199was on Amazon, and it was only one volume for both directions.

Cheaper in Belgium! Apr 9, 2002

I do not know for those living in France, but I do know that living on the border with Belgium brings alot of advantages. So, if you get the occasion, go in a book-store in Belgium because dictionnaries are cheaper. Well, that is what I heard of.... and I bought one in a tiny book-store on the border, and everything was cheaper! May be just a stroke of luck!
