The English French Dictionary is a practical instrument to help both English and French learners of the other language to improve their language skills and clarify issues of orthography. It contains 27,000 word entries and expressions, many with multiple meanings. We depart dramatically from our previous edition by first using a word frequency list of the English language to select frequent entries in common English communication. Second, we added special vocabulary from secondary school content fields such as social sciences, physical sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, language arts etc. The result is a comprehensive list of English entries with French equivalents in all areas covered in school curricula.
