Examples are an important source of information on word usage for language learners, but existing reference sources for Japanese as a second language are limited. This paper describes two projects for the automated collection of word usage examples. Examples extracted from an ad-hoc Japanese-Slovene parallel corpus were included into jaSlo, a Japanese-Slovene learners' dictionary, and examples extracted from a monolingual web-harvested 400 million word corpus of Japanese were selected to be used as supplementary examples for Chuta, a multilingualized dictionary for learners of Japanese as a second language.
