 Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 5:24 pm Post subject: Sharp Electronic Dictionary |
 |
|
Hi All,
I'm newly arrived in Korea & work for a largish US company in Seoul.
A French colleague of mine is moving to Hong Kong this week and is keen to sell me his electronic dictionary which is a Sharp SD-S75 for which he wants KRW120.000.
I'm keen to purchase an E Dictionary but the Keypad & OS on his is in Korean only which makes operation tricky to say the least. Basically it is a dic. aimed at Koreans for looking up English words & phrases.
My question: - If i pass up on this offer how easy is it to get Electronic Dictionaries in Korea with an english interface & that are aimed at English speakers for help with Korean??
Any advice is appreciated. |

| In another post everyone told me you have to buy them from the United States. I'm going to go ahead and buy a korean one. I figure later I can sell it to a student. -Jeff |

I have a sharp model RD6700.
It was purchased in Korea.
It has multiple languages including English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese.
It has English and Korean menus.
You can use it for: English - Korean and Korean - English. I have never bothered to check on ease of use for English to/from the other languages.
It cost 146k won for the dictionary (runs on 3 AAA batteries) and the optional AC adapter. |

I have in my notes that the RD6700 eats batteries. How long do the batteries last? 3 would be a pain because my NiMH battery charger charges in groups of 2.
Here are my list of things I want to try on a new dictionary:
If I want an anti-reflective coating on my new glasses what does your dictionary say?
How about compound words? I can't look up the individual words because I don't know where each word ends. e.g. 골드참치마요네즈
From my mailbox: 읍(면) 리 번지 성며
리 comes up on the yahoo dictionary as "in".
I've been reading lables lately and mayonaise and chicken patty are not obvious to me at first. 마요네즈 and 치킨패티. Also the top of the lable says 천원치킨버거 which I'm guessing is a brand name. I'm translating it as Springhead Chicken Patty.
Technical and engineering terms? Medical terms? Drug names?
Thanks. -Jeff |

I could be wrong..but is 천원치킨버거..1000 Won Chicken Burger? That's a label?
I have the SD-S75, works great...120,000 W isn't bad. I got mine for 125,000 W at 용산. It's an older model, but I'm fine with that. The salesman tried to sell me something else he regarded as "what most foreigners purchase", but I denied it and bought the SD-S75. It's funny how they'll forget to give you a receipt, tryin' to pull sneakies.
You can always bargain your way to a reasonable price, or buy it online for nearly the same price, or cheaper. |
