I want a good english/japanese electronic dictionary but ive only found ones with multiple languages that cost a lot. i just want a english/japanese one. links are highly appreciated. thanks!!!

This site sells some Japanese/English electronic dictionaries and ships overseas: http://www.whiterabbitpress.com/catalog/Japanese-English-orderby0-p-1-c-262.html

But if you want a good one, you will have to spend a lot. Also, be sure to get one appropriate for your skill level. That site has forums where people can help you pick a good one. For example, most are designed for Japanese people, but there are some with more English-speaker friendly menus, setup, etc. There are some where you can write kanji on the screen to look them up, which is great for beginner-intermediate students. If you are more advanced, you might want one with a bigger dictionary (more words).

This is a decent paper dictionary – http://www.amazon.com/Kodanshas-Furigana-Japanese-Dictionary-Japanese-English/dp/4770024800

And http://www.alc.co.jp/ is a fantastic online dictionary.

    I would say that will most likely need to have one shipped out of Japan. The only problem is that they tend to be in Japanese, made for Japanese people. I just bought one and I love it, but I got one of the best ones because I knew I was serious about my studies.
