Sorry : I cann't help you to get your dictionary either.
Nevertheless, I don't think, that an online-dictionary would be so
useful:  A normal handy paperback dictionary is more appropriate.
I think that searching a particular phrase using your thumbnail
will be as fast as e.g. hacking a grep command in or cut'n pasting
the phrase into another window... IMHO.

As this is gnu.emacs.help : I dunno, whether there exists already
a dictionary lookup package for gnus.  But think about it twice :
How many words can you lookup manually in the amount of time, you
will need to write such a package in EMCAS lisp ?

BTW: I've some doubts, that reading our german language newsgroups would
be the best way, to improve your german.  On the other hand I must 
say, that my english would be probably better, if I would not read 
so much usenet news ....
