Electronic Dictionaries for learning Japanese

Q: I really like your site especially the video songs. My question is that I am looking to buy an English to Japanese electronic dictionary. My main goal is to hear the pronunciation of Japanese words. Please let me know what are your thoughts. Thanks, Jerry

A: Hi Jerry, thank you very much for the nice words!  As I wrote in my how to get fluent in Japanese page I’d totally 100% absolutely recommend getting an electronic dictionary.  It’s probably the single biggest thing that made the biggest difference to my Japanese.

I used to use a really old Canon Wordtank, which was great then, but now there are so many out there that I have a tough time keeping up with them, never mind writing reviews.   So I’d say try and head out to a big electrical store and try a few out.  If you find a good one please let me know and we can share it with everyone here!

Similarly, if anyone else has a good electronic dictionary to recommend, please put it in the comments below!

Be genki,

Richard
