I have been using an excellent electronic dictionary for French, German and Latin, and I desperately want one for Modern Greek. I have found a few available, and most are amazingly expensive. Does anyone use one which they can recommend? All the ones I can find seem to say words and phrases out loud, which I do not need, I just want the dictionary function.
After spending years lugging around and flicking back and forth and back and forth through Latin and Ancient Greek dictionaries during my study years, I was so glad to discover electronic dictionaries when I started learning German and French. I can not recommend them highly enough! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Here's one that's free. They come in many languages, and I'm assuming this one's Modern Greek. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Disquina,
So which electronic dictionary have you been using for French and German? I won't mind getting one if it's as good as you say. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Kyrie,
Thanks for the link, but I mean a handheld gadget which contains a dictionary. Turbo, I've been using the Ultralingua dictionary programme on my Palm PDA (http://www.ultralingua.com/), which was convenient because I already had the PDA. It might be an expensive option if you only want the PDA for the dictionaries, but I also use the flashcard programme ANKI on it (http://www.anki.com/) which I find fantastic, and much easier than carrying around hundreds of bits of cardboard. I also use the PDA for other non-language related stuff, such as my bibliographic database for my research. I found Ultralingua to be the least messy dictionary programme, but having praised it so highly, I should say that I use the dictionaries almost exclusively for reading. I'm not sure if this makes any difference or not. Disquina Edited by Disquina on 18 April 2009 at 7:52am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Disquina,
Thanks for the info on Ultralingua. I used to own a Palm but not anymore. I learn from Ultralingua's website that their dictionaries are available on the iPhone platform as well. That's good because I am thinking of getting an iPhone soon. 1 person has voted this message useful |
