If you are studying Japanese I reccomend Oxford Beginner's Japanese Dictionary. It goes both ways, Japanese to English and then English to Japanese. I've found it super helpful compared to my other dictionary that just goes from English to Japanese. A lot of times you'll see a word in Japanese and you'll need to translate it. Trying to go through all the English words to try and find it is kind of impossible unless you memorize the entire dictionary.
Yes, I know that there are plenty of translating apps today that you can use instead, but sometimes I think there's nothing as good as a physical book. Its just a personal preference of mine, but for others apps are better suited for them. I honestly don't mind Google translate, the thing is that you should only translate a few words at a time and its even better when you have an idea for what word you are looking for. Don't get me wrong, you have to be careful, Google Translate feels a little sketchy at times. However, as long as you translate in small pieces and you have some background knowledge, you'll be fine.
Hope this helps!
