I recommend this one Japanese dictionary www.romajidesu.com/. It has tts audio pronunciation, sample sentences. The kanji dictionary of it is useful, too.

Also, is this one any good?

jisho.org/

I would use WWWJDIC but you guys said that it comes with mistakes in its sentences. Don’t wanna learn the wrong way!

Hello man,

All the japanese-japanese dictinaries are great, have them bookmarked for later use when I will go cold turkey. But first I need to use english as a springboard. For which I’ll need a japanese-english dictionary (electronic!, tis not a typing contest as I recall) to get correct sentences (besides the grammar sites and books recommended to get a firm grip on the grammar – without the explanations of course, only sentences). I have read here somewhere that the yahoo dictionary is pretty good and has good example sentences. Two questions:

1. By yahoo dictionary, is it meant this one?:
babelfish.yahoo.com/

if not, which one is it?

2. Any other great japanese – english dictionary (for sentences)? (online or software is fine I can get it).

Thankxszxz a lot. 🙂

(I was originally posting in the sanseido entry but I’ll move it here for more logical sense.) Over the past couple of days I’ve used the sanseido, yahoo, and goo and I still can’t figure out where the usage/example sentences are. I can get the definitions. After I looked at this post I figured out how to use the infoseek to get usages of the word in newspapers and I think with goo I figured out how to get to wikipedia for it. Where am I going wrong with this?

You’re right, the Yahoo dic is really good. I have it on the links on the sidebar. I discovered it long after writing this article, so it didn’t seem worth it to make the addition here. But thanks for pointing that out!

how about the yahoo dictionary? it uses two different dictionaries for J – J and J -E so you can get two perspectives on a word and choose the definition you understand the best // example sentences you like the best. also include is a thesaurus for synonyms.
