Introduction to a Web Site - Foreign Languages for Travelers

by Bonnie Chung

I would like to introduce http://www.travlang.com/languages/ to you. To me, it is a very attractive page. This page can help travelers learn a few essentials of foreign languages: such as English, German, French, Italian, Norwegian, Japanese, Chinese and even Hebrew! This page provides a list of common words and phrases-basic words, numbers, words and phrases for shopping,traveling and asking places-translate into the language you choose; sound files are associated with each so you can hear what that words or phrases sound like. Therefore, you can learn both how to write and read the language at the same time.

Besides, there is an On-line Translating Dictionaries. It translates the foreign words into English immediately. Apart from that, there is slang and 'dirty' words in various languages.

Moreover, it provides the travel information. For example, you can find the worldwide location of Tourism Offices, the Rates of Current Currency Exchange and so on. Any travel information can be found in here. If you have any question on it, simply, send your mail to this page.

Furthermore, there is 'General Languages Pointer Compilations.' It gives a lot of information about foreign language and culture.

In my opinion, it is a very interesting and useful page.
