Kanji DS Dictionary

About this product:

Here's a fascinating way to use your Nintendo DS to learn Japanese more effectively: the Kanji Sonomama Dictionary, which turns any Nintendo DS into a very useful tool for learning Japanese. There are four dictionaries -- English-Japanese, Japanese-English, Kokugo (Japanese-Japanese, the best way to learn) and Kanji, with 240,000 entries at your fingertips. While you can input words with the optional on-screen keyboard, the best way to enter words is using the stylus, which can accurately read the kana, kanji and English letters you enter for speedy lookup. Input is done on the lower screen, while results appear on the top screen -- it's beautiful! There are many other features, too, such as pronunciation of English words, a "Jump" feature for looking up English words, several quiz functions, the ability to save words for later study, and more. Also has a dedicated katakana dictionary for finding up to date foreign words.
