I am in the market for English-Korean-Japanese if possible.

Thanks

I dunno where you put the batteries in her, but Lisa Kelley from Arirang's "Let's Talk Korean" is a good option.

Check it out before buying. Alot of my students have those. The thing that Tarzan swings through the jungle on, turns out to be a "bine". I have found or had to explain several v/b and r/l mistakes in those. The one with YBM software is the worst in my experience.

Am I the only one who doesn't find her attractive? Must admit, I haven't seen the show. Maybe that photo is unflattering, or maybe it's the inch layer of make-up, but I just don't see it... does that make me gay? Shocked

I don't know if they make a K-E-J version, but I have the Seiko LiveWord KR-M1000 and really like it.

It also has a Korean dictionary, English dictionary, Britannica Concise Encyclopedia in both languages (which I've actually used), some sort of Chinese character dictionary that I don't know how to use yet, some TOEIC stuff that I ignore and an English expressions dictionary and Longman Language Activator that some of my (Korean) friends use.

The handiest features to me are the history feature, which means that I can make flashcards at the end of the day based on what I've learned and the JUMP feature, which moves you between the different options quickly. (So I can look up a word, then look it up in reverse to double-check that I'm using it correctly, or look up a spelling in the English dictionary, then jump straight to the E-K entry.)

It was 170,000 I think, got it at Kyobo.

Here's a link, couldn't find it in English but maybe you can have a Korean friend help you translate.

Good luck~

I went to Emart in Wonju. I played with a few models and the girl did get one to switch to English menus. However the 89,000 won Casio EW-D3700 seemed easier to use even with Korean menus. All of the talking ones only talked in English. I don't need MP3, a planner or a built in USB drive. None of the dictionaries gave definitions for my test words. If you are an English speaker who will only be using the two bilingual dictionaries then a lower level model like the Casio EW-D3700 is for you.

I had to take the display model because it was the last one. I thought I might get a better price on the Internet but when I checked the cheapest price I could find on the Internet was 170,520원. Maybe someone made a mistake?
