New dictionaries :)

As of this afternoon, I'm the proud owner of the electronic Van Dale Dutch/English/French/German large dictionary set! Yay! My uni uses these dictionaries and I love them, they are easy to work with and contain lots of extra information and idiomatic expressions. They have about 115.000 lemmas per language, I believe. I'm so happy! As much fun it ( Read more... )

Awesomeness! It's good to know that I'm not the only one that geeks out on dictionaries <3 I got an updated English one and it makes me so happy... so very, very happy.

Hoopte ik door middel van LiveJournal juist te ontsnappen aan de frustraties van het echte leven, verschijnen ze ineens bovenaan mijn vriendjespagina. grmblwimvanderdoel. :/

I don't speak Dutch, French or German but I fully understand the excitement! New dictionaries are great, and it's a wonder when I have a nice electric one making taking various notes so much easier, plus better researching on the move.

Some people collect baseball cards, maybe I collect dictionaries!

I just had a "D'oh! I need an electronic dictionary"-moment, when I was telling my mom about packing my bags for Russia. I told her I wasn't sure if I should bring my Spanish-English (I want to keep it up while I'm in Russia) dictionary and she said "What? It isn't on your computer?!". Sometimes, my mom is so ahead of the times, even though she still isn't really sure about how to send an e-mail, or use the backspace / shift keys.
