Japanese - Finding field specific Jargon - NoSleepTilFluent - 2013-09-20
専門語 Japanese Jargon
As a lot of us are graduating every year I'm sure a couple people have looked into this subject before. But what is the best way to try and get a hold of all that jargon in your field. It seems impractical for me to go back and relearn everything in Japanese so I've been searching for a website or book that has a list of Jargon words.
I'm studying Mechanical engineering and found this site by using google http://www.tomoeshokai.co.jp/tec_info/wording/machine/ so far just wondering if there are any better options out there.
This one seems okay so far because they also define the term in Japanese as well as give an english translation.
