If you need basic words, you can easily google translate them. The type of dictionaries in the Denshi Jisho is a thorough one.
Afterall, there must be a reason why professional translator/serious student or even a teacher in Japanese always have atleast one (yes, they have more than one) in their bag.
But actually, an electric dictionary is more than that. Now if you think the electric dictionary is just to search for meaning of words, you might think that it is replaceable with a free smartphone app. So if you often read Japanese book or watching Japanese show, and you think it’s quite annoying to use your smartphone to look for words and you often need to google instead, you might need one. The best feature might be the good kanji handwriting recognition and the jump feature (to quickly jump from current words to other words you see in the description/screen). Only when you have learn a moderate amount of Japanese, especially mastering Hiragana & Katakana and able to search for kanji in your free smartphone apps, you will be able to navigate through the Denshi Jisho with not much trouble and headache.Ī Denshi Jisho will be a very good and convenient tool to instantly search for the meaning of words you want to know. When and why will you need a Denshi Jisho ? And you will end up with a lot of headaches (and also heartaches, full of regret for ever buying this dictionary).
If you have no idea at all about Japanese, it will be a disaster to use it. Therefore ALL the interface, except for the alphabetic keyboard, is written in Japanese. A free smartphone dictionary apps and sites such as Tangorin or Jisho will be enough.īecause the electronic dictionary (or called denshi jisho in Japanese) that you’re gonna buy is actually targeted for Japanese users to learn English. First, if you just start learning basic Japanese, the answer would be NO, you don’t need one.
