I was using Sanseido.net for a while. Then a lot of the definitions started to include the word and or kanji I was looking up. Weird no?
Btw, I disagree with Tob. I think monolingual is something you have to force. Its a huge pain in the beginning, but it does its job.
I switched to yahoo and the definitions are far more simple. The only time I use a JE dictionary now is when I want to learn a Japanese word I already know in English.
Monodicts do suck when you have a small vocabulary, though. So waiting is also an option. Just, when you finally do go for it.... go for it
