4.0 out of 5 stars Super handy, April 19 2004

Ladama (Colorado, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford Japanese Minidictionary (Paperback)

I am nearing the end of my second year in college Japanese, and I think that for any beginner in Japanese, this dictonary is a must have. It's not a be-all end all source, but it fits perfectly in the front pocket of my backpack, and the Japanese is in kana, which I feel has helped me learn the hiragana and katakana more than a romanji dictionary would. It also has good example sentances, which have helped me on countless occations. It's only draw backs are of course the limitations concerning vocabulary, you're not going to get every word ever spoken in Japanese. Still, I haven't found a more useful dictonary for Japanese

Firstly this dictionary doesn't contain Romanji. Which is vital as this will encourage you to learn the kana which should take about 4 days using flash cards.
Secondly kanji is shown for many of the words and the sample sentences are well chosen.
Together with its portability and concise nature this is an excellent starter dictionary. Buy this together with a Kanji dictionary so you can look up the complex kanji characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy, kana-heavy pocket dictionary, Feb 11 2003

Zack Davisson "japanreviewed" (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oxford Japanese Minidictionary (Paperback)

When you are serious about Japanese, you should buy an electronic dictionary. There is no substitute for technology when it comes to number of words, convenience and portability. Of course, good electronic dictionaries are very expensive and quite a commitment.

This little fellow is a handy, portable Japanese-English/ English-Japanese dictionary, good for both studying and having around town when you need to look up a word. Because of its portability, it packs a small punch in terms of number of words, and will not be as useful as a larger desk reference.

On the good side, the dictionary makes good use of kana and does not present words in romajii. Learning the kana is essential to learning Japanese, and using this dictionary will increase your reading speed.

A nice, compact reference to carry around, or take to a coffee shop for study. If you are just starting out with Japanese, this dictionary will be a good helper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough words, but what it does have is great!
This is the third Japanese<->English dictionary I've bought, since all of them seem to lack too many words so other sources are needed. Read more
