I think its necessary cause i want example sentences together with the meaning of the words also.
Cause certain words have the same English meaning but is used in different context.
With 2kyuu,we are talking about a huge influx of vocabulary.
It is a long term, worth it investment.
Easier for me to play JP games if i want to also...:p

I am currently using DS that 漢字そのまま楽引辞典 for the time being but it is limited at times.

That's a good one. No doubt. But it can't write Kanji+cannot add additional contents.

My previous dictionary was SII MK-4100, then i changed to my current SP6600. I found it to be better than my MK-4100 and i can add in extra dictionaries to make the vocabulary listing better.

My current Japanese-English vocab listing is 480,000 words...by adding 新和英大辞典。So i think it's definitely a good investment...

That kenkyusha dictionary very important,useful and famous for its eng-jap capabilities.
It is nicknamed green goddess.
Only other dictionary that can compete with it is the one from Genius one...
But to each their own pros and cons.

Kanji input is very important.

Keong,you out of the ang pow receiving age liao or you married le?

Hi all, I need some help here regarding some basic stuffs.

Which is better: koko wa toshokan desu. or toshokan wa koko desu. Or is one of them wrong? A bit confused here , thanks in advance for any help :).

And can anyone enlighten me the difference between は and が? Thanks!

Sentence 1:koko wa toshokan desu: here is the library

Sentence 2:toshokan wa koko desu: the library is here.

In sentence 1, the topic is "here", in sentence 2, the topic is "the library". Both is about the same, depending which one you want to emphasize on.

は and が。。。haha.
Look here for more info. http://www.guidetojapanese.org/particles.html

Thanks for the reply.

Well the site says it is koko ga toshokan desu. So is there a difference between that and koko wa toshokan desu. Thanks a lot again!
