I studied in Japan in 1994 up to 1998. When I was there, I met lots of foreign students from all over the world. There must be lots of people who is capable to communicate in Japanese like me. But as Japanese language is not our mother tongue, we surely need to refer to a dictionary sometime. Looking up a conventional dictionary will be quite troublesome. There are lots of online dictionary nowadays, but it is too simple to be used.
I found an online Japanese dictionary, established by Jim Breen from Monash University. It is good for advance user. (People who actually knows Japanese language). It`s not like those translation tools provided by google or yahoo.
Some of the features are such as :
- ability to find words translation from both english and Japanese
- you can type your Japanese word in romaji
- you can find kanji if you know it`s radical count, just like using the conventional dictionary
- you can also see examples on how certain word is being used
- and a lot more that I had never tried yet
This online dictionary had help me so much in my daily work. May god bless all the people involved in the development of the site.
