| The yahoo dictionary has sound for English words but not korean words. Is there an online dictionary that has sound for Korean words? -Jeff |

| I have never found one. Even my portable English-Korean dictionary is that way. I suppose it's because the target audience already knows how to say the Korean words. |

| Search Edonkey or Emule for Declan Software. You can then download a huge word list which has the pronunciation for all the words. If you want to buy the software it's around $30 |

I tried to get the girls at emart to switch the electronic dictionaries to English and after some fiddling they couldn't do it. -Jeff |

I don't think it's possible. Like I said, it's intended for Korean consumers. However, one plus side is that it forces you to learn new words! And hey, you have a dictionary right there at your fingertips to help you out.  |

ectaco....is the company name...you can check them out...I have one...it was expensive...and I am not sure yet wether or not it was worth it...but it is not as impressive as I had hoped.
I did a lot of searching...and it was the only company I could find that had korean voice...and it isn't available in Korea...I got mine through the mail...if you want to know more....send me a pm.
Good luck and happy hunting |

My Sharp Dictionary is in English, so it depends on what brand I suppose.
To the OP, download the Declan Korean Flash Cards, not the dictionary. The word lists are imported into the software and include some exercises as well |

| learn the pronunciation rules. they are not that hard, and there aren't too many exceptions. korean pronunciation is much simpler (as far as rules/irregular forms go) than english pronunciation. |

| also, korean-korean dictionaries usually have the pronunciation written out (e.g. the phrase 맛보다 would have the pronunciation "맏뽀다" also cf. http://krdic.naver.com/detail.nhn?docid=12851700 ). |
