How Much Is A Word?
Oct 16th 2011 16:42
I finally bought an electronic dictionary.
I have wanted it for long time.
Once I went to a shop to buy it,
but it was very expensive and had many features I didn't need.
So I gave up buying it then.
Besides when I studied English, a computer connected the network was often beside me.
If I found a word of which I wanted to know the meaning, I could immediately look into it.
Even if I couldn't use a computer to look for a word, I made the meaning unknown.
However, recently I have felt my lack of vocabularies,
so I decided to look for the word meaning whenever I encounter the unknown words.
Therefore I needed a dictionary to have anytime.
You know, paper dictionaries, which everyone have at least one are too heavy to keep having.
After all, I needed electronic one rather than paper one.
I'll try increasing my English words by using this dictionary.
If I can get 5000 words owing to it, a word is 2 yen.
Because I could get this dictionary to pay about 10000 yen.

I have wanted to get one for a long time.
A while ago, I went to a shop to buy one,
but it was so expensive and had a lot of features that I didn't need.
So I decided not to buy one then.
Besides, when I used to study English a lot, I always had a computer next to me and could look up words whenever I needed to.
If I found a word of which I wanted to know the meaning, I could immediately look into it.
Even if I wasn't at my computer, [I would let the person I was talking to know that I didn't understand that particular word] or [I would write the word down and look it up later] 二つの例えばの意味はちょっと違う。元の文をわかりませんでした。
However, I've recently felt like my vocabulary has become too limited,
and thought it would be a good idea to look up the meaning of a word whenever I encounter one that I didn't know.
To do this, I would need to have a dictionary with me at all times.
Everyone who studies a language seems to have a paper dictionary lying around somewhere, but as you know, they're too heavy to carry around with you all the time. (複雑、でもより自然です。)
Because of this, It would be helpful to have an electronic one rather than a traditional one.
I'll try to increase my English vocabulary by using this dictionary.
The dictionary costs 10,000 yen, so if it comes with 5,000 words, then a word costs 2 yen each.
Because I could get this dictionary to pay about 10000 yen.
Is that expensive?
They are very useful for me.
I also feel it's difficult to write English sentences without a dictionary.
But, I have been trying to write them without the dictionary for my improving.
