Traveling can be inspiring, educational, relaxing…and, sometimes, if you don’t speak the language of the country you’re visiting, frustrating. Fumbling through an encyclopedia-sized guidebook to find the word or phrase you need—while an exasperated local stands by—just doesn’t cut it.
Enter Me No Speak phrase books, available for China, Japan and Thailand (so those of you going to the Beijing Olympics may want to pick one up!). The nifty little language companions allow you to simply point to a picture to get your point across.
Color-coded topic sections let you find what you need easily, from Transportation, Shopping, Accommodations, and Health to Food (check out the nifty menu set-up below, designed with Westerners in mind).
Easy to use and small enough to put in your pocket, Me No Speak books just might become your favorite new travel companion. Plus, we just love the name.
Available at Flight 001 for $9.95.
