Whether you're heading to Cannes or Canada—or just studying French closer to home—this reference is packed with thousands of vivid illustrations, each one labeled in detail with the English and French word. If you're heading to dinner or a concert, a sporting event or public transit, this pictorial guide is likely to help, but with hundreds of other entries, an exchange student or long-term visitor would also be able to learn about every aspect of everyday life: cookware, household tools, apparel, games, cars, and plants and animals.
