       ABOUT THE PUBLISHER

INTRODUCTION

      Whether you’re on holiday or staying in a French-speaking country for a slightly longer period of time, your Collins Visual Dictionary is designed to help you find exactly what you need, when you need it. With over a thousand clear and helpful images, you can quickly locate the vocabulary you are looking for.

       The Visual Dictionary includes:

       USING YOUR COLLINS VISUAL DICTIONARY

      In order to make sure that the phrases and vocabulary in the Collins Visual Dictionary are presented in a way that’s clear and easy to understand, we have followed certain policies when translating:

      1) The polite form “vous” (you) has been used throughout the text as this is always safe to use, even if a bit formal at times, for example:

       How are you? Comment allez-vous?

       Remember that if you are addressing an older person or someone you have just met, you use “vous”. However, if you are speaking to children, or those you know well, you can use “tu”. French people may invite you to use “tu” with them:

       Shall we call each other “tu”? On se tutoie?

      2) The grammatical gender of French nouns has been indicated using the articles “le” (masculine) or “la” (feminine). All nouns which have the article “l’” have been shown with their gender, for example:

       year l’année f

       All plural translations have been marked with the gender of the singular noun, as well as the plural marker, for example:

       trainers les baskets fpl

       Feminine forms of nouns have been shown with the masculine form as the main translation:
