An other approach is to set by file the dictionnary you want to use by
adding these lines at end of your files: (change the comments strings,
depending the mode you use e.g latex)

,----
| # Local Variables:
| # ispell-local-dictionary: "english"
| # End:
`----

With this example when you launch flyspell-mode in this buffer, you will
have the english dictionnary.
