One of the hardest things about traveling to a foreign country is trying to communicate when you do not know the language. What are you going to do when you want to order drinks, complain about the state of your room, or get simple directions to the places where you want to go. As anyone who has traveled knows, it is very easy to get lost and worse when no one understands a word you are saying.

To solve this problem, you could always get one of those phrase books, but often those books are bulky and confusing when it comes to the actual pronunciation of the words. What you really need is something that provides the actual audio of useful phrases and is easily portable. Fortunately, the software developers at Coolgorilla allows you to download a Mobile Phrase Book for your cell phone, iPod, or other mobile device.

These Mobile Phrase Book provide a structured menu in English, where you can find topics on travel, accommodation, shopping, as well as romance. That’s right, if you want to pick up on some nice ladies or men, this is a good resource. Phrases like “may I buy you a drink” and “you have beautiful eyes” are readily available to use. I do not suggest “what is your star sign”.

For romantic or any other useful phrase, all you need to do is find the phrase you want, then hit select to hear the phrase from real native voice-over artists. You will also see a text translation on the screen so you can learn the spelling what it is you want to say.

These Mobile Phrase Books are available in French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. So if you are traveling in Europe, for example, you can have phrases on hand that you can learn how to speak, or you can let your mobile device do the talking for you. With any luck, you will have at least some of the language before you leave the country.
