Hi,
I am an intermediate learner of Japanese, and it has been very frustrating to find out that large publishing houses like Oxford and Longman have never come out with a large, physical (i.e. not electronic) English-Japanese, Japanese-English dictionary. My
Oxford Beginner's Japanese Dictionary is very good, but it has too few words for me to express a full range of emotions and thoughts in Japanese. On the other hand, excellent resources like
http://www.jisho.org literally yield thousands of translations. Many of these translations are outdated or not in common use, and I cannot find this out unless I speak to a nihonjin. I need something like the
Kenkyusha's New Japanese - English Dictionary http://www.amazon.com/Kenkyushas-New...5505046&sr=1-1, but not for $500!!! Can anyone please shed some light on this situation?!
Thanks,
-- Mike
