[2012-07-04] Jason: Good addition for 디오딕 users This app has a really user friendly interface (unlike many dictionary apps) and the dictionary is solid.This app is not the most extensive spanish-english dictionary on the market(see Collins), but it is close. If you already have diodict apps for CJKV languages (chinese, japanese, korean and vietnamese) and you maintain an interest in conversational spanish as well, then this app is a must. Its awesome when you can search for a word in english and have its translation show up in chinese, korean, japanese, vietnamese and spanish all at once! If you like linguistics, then diodict is your favorite dictionary! |
