[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Translation app.[/quote] These are terrible - and don't work well. Also, they usually don't account for dialects and can get you in a mess of trouble. How far into the country are you going? I find hiring a guide is helpful. Also, printing out some necessary phrases or handy words "Food" "bathroom" "room" "medicine" in several different languages on index cards always helps. For example, in China, I would do it in Mandarian, Cantonese, Pinyan, then in English (because spoken and written is different), French and German. It usually helps when I'm on the road. I once met a guide who spoke German, French, and Mandarian. I speak English, Dutch and Spanish. It was horrible trying to get where I needed to go - except he knew a little Italian - so we could muddle through with my Spanish and his Italian. [/quote]
