I used to like www.zkorean.com/dictionary but they have changed it to not so free anymore.

These days I mostly use a handheld dictionary I bought in Korea. It seems to be much faster and easier to use than any online ones. Plus it has Hanja and Topik, etc built in.

lukek: what does that exactly mean: "topik built in"? I know what topik is, but what does it show? if it is a level 1,2,3... topik word or such?

The online dictionary I'm using the most is http://kr.dic.yahoo.com/ but I also use my "hard dictionary": Si-sa Elite English-Korean & Korean-English Dictionary, ISBN 89-17-05060-3

When it comes to vocabulary, I've bought two books which I don't regret buying:

- "Handbook of Korean Vocabulary - A Resource for Word Recognition and Comprehension" by Miho Choo & William O'Grady, University of Hawai'i Press, ISBN 89-7735-930-9
- "Korean Picture Dictionary" by Kang Hyoun-hwa, Darakwon, ISBN 978-89-5995-756-9

I finally got a hold of the 'Touch Dictionary' for the DS. I also have 'Metro' I use for my print dictionary.

yes lurek, I'm curious. What electronic dictionary do you have and how does it have "topik" in it? I would like to get an electronic dictionary eventually. . . but am not sure exactly which one is best.

Hi Mella,

Are you looking for a dictionary online, an electronic dictionary, or a book?

Hello everyone: mella, lukek, erich, nuxxun, holdfast, theresa, John, beaver, xflibble, and galbilover2703.
Thanks for your comment and those quick responses.
You guys are "awesome!"
I think any one of those sites would be very helpful to search for Korean words.
Thanks,
cheers,
Tim 8)
