Hi I'm looking for a dictionary which gives the exact kanji pronunciation,

here what i mean:

When I look up for 今年　 I get "ことし" so the problem is i dont know how to pronounce each kanji but the entire word.

So I need something that'll give me 今年=> こ・とし

its a little unclear but i hope you did understand me ;s

Are you looking for a handheld dictionary or an e-dict? If e-dict, then http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/ might be what your looking for.

crayonmaster you rocks!

yeah I was looking for an e-dict like this one. It gives me こ‐とし【今年】, now I have the pronunciation for each kanji. But it seems to be a j-j dic , a e-j would be better , but BIG thx anyway.

mustaflex, you just need a bit more exposure. You should never ever have any problem realizing which syllable is connected to which kanji. Even complete beginners usually have a great feeling for it.

if you ever need an actual dictionary, Kodansha's Furigana Japanese Dictionary (both E>J and then one for J>E) have the furigana for the kanji. In the J>E one you look up by the hiragana and then next to it it has the Kanji with furigana ^^;

今年　ことし
明くる年　あくるとし
好い年　いいとし
当たり年　あたりどし
Enough examples of the kanji in different words with similar readings should usually be enough to see where to separate them, if such a separation ever becomes necessary.

Just select 英和 or 和英, first is E-J, second is J-E.

Yeah. Or just knowing the word for year... とし
And I mean, when it comes to on'yomi, one learns all possible readings quite fast.
