I thought I'd posted this before, but I guess it didn't go through for some reason... Anyway...

I'm looking for an electronic dictionary like my students have. One that translates from English to Korean and Korean to English. Ideally I should be able to enter Korean either as hangeul or romanized.

Now here's the tough part. I'd like the dictionary to have definitions of the Korean words _in English_. Ideally it would have descriptions of all the synonymns and nuances and maybe phrase examples as well.

Does such a thing exist? Where can I buy one? (I'm in Daegu)

I can't help you out with a real dictionary that you can carry around, but there is a good one on-line you might not have seen yet. The English-Korean, Korean-English dictionary is the one in the top right, just type in an English or Korean word there.
