ALC 英辞郎 on CD
Posted on 24. Mar, 2007 @ 11:40 pm by harvey in Books, Language
Anyone who is a serious student of Japanese has likely come across the excellent ALC (英辞郎) dictionary on the web.
Have you ever been in the situation where you’re working on something at home, really wanted to get out of the house and say, go work at a cafe… But your local cafe doesn’t have internet, and it would be murder to be without your ALC dictionary?
Happens to me all the time.
Well, I just learned that you can actually buy the entire ALC dictionary on CD-ROM. It costs 2500 yen, and you can order it online, or even buy it in Japan at your local Kinokuniya bookstore.
ALC, I have you now!

Hi, that would be “Stippy”, as opposed to “Stimpy”.. But thanks for the reference! :)

My bad, fixed!
I’m loving the dictionary though! I even use it when I’m online often, because it response faster than my web browser can load!

You know what you can do too? If you have a data plan on your keitai (or if you don’t use it too often) you can access Jeffrey’s J-E Dictionary on wireless web.
Works like a charm!

Do you know if it can it be loaded on to an electronic dictionary?

I do not think that ALC can be loaded on to an electronic dictionary from the CD.
