Hello-

I'll be coming to Seoul in the summer to study language and I think I'll get tired of lugging my dictionaries around with me pretty fast. Can anyone recommend an electronic Korean-English/English-Korean dictionary? One that you've used and liked? Even better, does anyone know of a fairly comprehensive multi-lingual Asian language electronic dictionary? I don't know whether such things exist, but I'm a student of Japanese and Chinese as well, and it would be neat to have a multi-purpose dictionary. I figure if electronic dictionaries give you the hanja, then they can probably handle other Asian languages as well...

Thanks!

The Sharp and Casio models are nice.

I think you'll find most offer all 4 languages. Mine's just a cheapie (A-one, made in Taiwan, 60,000 won) & it does.

if you get one get one with an english english dictionary as well. That would be real handy.

You can often type the model number of the dictionaries into google and find something in English. Or just look under the company name, if the model numbers are slightly different.
