LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund, covering the six-month period from June 1, 2004, through November 30, 2004. Inside, you'll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during the reporting period, including a discussion with the fund's portfolio manager, D. Kirk Henry.

The global equity markets remained within a relatively narrow trading range during the reporting period due to uncertainties related to the potential impact of higher commodity prices, persistent geopolitical tension, a weaker U.S. dollar and the sustainability of China's tremendous economic expansion.Yet, these factors also have produced what we believe may be attractive valuations among individual stocks in both developed and developing markets, suggesting that improvements in global economic conditions could lead to higher stock prices.

Of course,the specific international investments that may be right for you depend on your current needs, future goals, tolerance for risk and the composition of your overall portfolio. As always, your financial advisor may be in the best position to recommend the most suitable investments that will satisfy your need for global diversification most effectively.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Canter 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 

The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

D. Kirk Henry, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2004, the fund produced total returns of 20.81% for its Class A shares, 20.29% for Class B shares, 20.31% for Class C shares, 21.00% for Class R shares and 20.49% for Class T shares.¹ This compares with a 20.88% total return provided by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free Index (MSCI EMF Index), the fund's benchmark, for the same period.²

We attribute the fund and market's overall performance to an improving global economy,which fueled stock market rallies in many of the world's emerging markets. As local economic conditions improved, domestic demand for a variety of goods and services strengthened, supporting stock prices of companies serving consumers. As a result, the fund's returns were roughly in line with the MSCI EMF Index.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks long-term capital growth.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the stocks of companies organized, or with a majority of assets or business, in emerging market countries."Emerging market" countries generally consist of all countries represented in the MSCI EMF Index. Normally, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of companies in any single emerging market country.

In selecting stocks, the portfolio manager identifies potential investments through extensive quantitative and fundamental research using a value-oriented, research-driven approach. Emphasizing individual stock selection rather than economic and industry trends, the fund focuses on three key factors: value, or how a stock is valued relative to its intrinsic worth based on traditional measures; business health, or a company's overall efficiency and profitability as measured by its return on assets

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

and return on equity; and business momentum, or the presence of a catalyst that will potentially trigger an increase in the stock's price in the near- or midterm.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The emerging markets produced generally robust returns over the reporting period. Several factors contributed to that strength, including vigorous U.S. demand for local exports, industrial development in China and India, rising oil prices, improved corporate earnings and stronger demand for commodities.

The fund received particularly strong contributions to its performance from holdings in South Korea, India and South Africa. In South Korea, the fund's investment in Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), an electric utility, produced the most significant contribution to the fund's performance for the reporting period. In addition, iron and steel manufacturer POSCO fared well due to strong demand from China for raw materials used in industrial production. In India, a country we have emphasized for some time now, the fund scored successes with a number of stocks, most notably telecommunications services provider Mahanagar Telephone Nigam.

The fund also received strong contributions from South African financial stocks, which rallied on investors' expectations of rising lending activity and merger speculation. For example, Nedcor, a large retail banking firm that recently announced a restructuring program to improve cost man-agement,advanced during the period.Old Mutual also rallied with South African financial stocks. Energy stocks in a variety of markets also helped drive the fund's performance. As oil prices surged, holdings such as Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro and South Africa's Sasol gained value.

On the other hand, returns from certain Taiwan technology stocks hindered the fund's performance when such stocks suffered a broad sell-off in late September and early October. In addition, the fund's small position in Yukos, the Russian oil firm, proved disappointing due

to the Kremlin's high-profile investigation of possible tax evasion. Government officials have theoretically nationalized the oil giant's key assets. Less exposure to Russia and Yukos reduced the portfolio's capital loss relative to the MSCI EMF Index. Finally, the fund did not own a top performing MSCI EMF Index holding in the Mexican telecommunications sector due to its high valuation.This lack of exposure hurt the fund's relative performance when the company gained value during the reporting period.

What is the fund's current strategy?

As of the end of the reporting period, fear of softer demand for the world's commodities caused metals prices to retreat from recent record levels.After having trimmed the fund's mining exposure in expectation of a possible correction,we took advantage of the price drop to purchase pure play metal companies.We also sold the fund's position in Russian oil firm Yukos, and have reduced exposure to energy-related holdings in Thailand and Poland. Conversely, due to persistent price weakness and expectations of stronger flat screen television and notebook computer sales, we recently added to the fund's technology companies in Taiwan and South Korea.We also initiated positions in certain Chinese car manufacturers, which declined after the People's Bank of China hiked interest rates.

	consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the

	Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance

COMPARING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC's method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund's expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended November 30, 2004

	Class A	Class B	Class C	Class R	Class T
Expenses paid per $1,000 †	$ 9.45	$ 13.82	$ 13.36	$ 7.64	$ 11.91
Ending value (after expenses)	$1,015.69	$1,011.33	$1,011.78	$1,017.50	$1,013.24

^† Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.87% for Class A, 2.74% for Class B, 2.65% for Class C, 1.51% for Class R and 2.36% for Class T; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus International Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company that offers one series, the fund.The fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth. The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial").

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares.The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Fund 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is avail-able.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund's Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR's and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the funds Board of Directors, cer-

24

tain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The Fund 25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004 was as follows: ordinary income $5,653,480. The tax character of current year distributions, if any, will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the "Facility") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.

26

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under Facility during the period ended November 30, 2004 was approxi mately $160,300, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.53% .

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended November 30, 2004, the Distributor retained $9,980 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A shares and $3,689 and $7,579 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at the annual rates of .75 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and .25 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class T shares. During the period ended November 30, 2004, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $12,705, $30,639 and $90, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.

The Fund 27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended November 30, 2004, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $1,150,831, $4,235, $10,213 and $90, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended November 30, 2004, the fund was charged $130,500 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $1,070,387, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $7,358, shareholder services plan fees $209,380 and transfer agency per account fees $43,474.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and forward currency exchange contracts, during the period ended November 30, 2004, amounted to $192,018,037 and $241,509,405, respectively.

The fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transac-tions.When executing forward currency exchange contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur

a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. The following summarizes open forward currency exchange contracts at November 30, 2004:

At November 30, 2004, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $284,069,240, consisting of $304,738,338 gross unrealized appreciation and $20,669,098 gross unrealized depreciation.

At November 30, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the common law. The complaints alleged, among other things, (i) that 12b-1 fees and directed brokerage were improperly used to pay brokers to recommend Dreyfus funds over other funds, (ii) that such payments were not disclosed to investors, (iii) that economies of scale and soft-dollar benefits were not passed on to investors and (iv) that 12b-1 fees charged to certain funds that were closed to new investors were also improper. The complaints sought compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the advisory contracts and an accounting and restitution of any unlawful fees, as well as an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. On April 22, 2004, the actions were consolidated under the caption In re Dreyfus Mutual Funds Fee Litigation, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed on September 13, 2004.While adding new parties and claims under state and federal law, the allegations in the consolidated amended complaint essentially track the allegations in the prior complaints pertaining to 12b-1 fees, directed brokerage, soft dollars and revenue sharing. Dreyfus and the funds believe the allegations to be totally without merit and intend to defend the action vigorously.

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the defendants in the future. Neither Dreyfus nor the Dreyfus funds believe that any of the pending actions will have a material adverse effect on the Dreyfus funds or Dreyfus' ability to perform its contracts with the Dreyfus funds.
