Travel Tips: Traveling Lingo and Phrases

Today, I was stumbling around the net again and ran across a very useful website for travelers and international road warriors. Below is a short description of the site.

World Nomads: Learn the Lingo at http://journals.worldnomads.com/language-guides/trip/1181.aspx

The site contains FREE mp3s of common travel phrases for a number of countries that you can download to your iPod. Will be very useful on the road. The languages covered so far include:
1. Chinese
2. French
3. Indian
4. Indonesian
5. Italian
6. Japanese
7. Lao
8. Spanish
9. Thai
10. Vietnamese

Per the website, the format of the guides are as follows:

* Chapter 1: Our Nomad on the road - listen to our World Nomad as he navigates a typical situation within a country.
* Chapter 2: Hear each of the phrases with both english and local language.
* Chapter 3: Just the local language translations (You're on you own from there !!)
