PocketComms the Perfect Travel Communication Aid

Great

You just saved me a load of work, I was in the process of writing out names of common objects in different languages and hadn't a clue how to pronounce most of them.

Cheers
Ian

This link http://www.spectronics.co.nz/downloa...re%20Index.pdf is for a 60 page pdf of picture symbols which is indexed. Maybe a little too comprehensive, but free!!

oh very useful - thank you!

Much better than my £80 Russian course which has resulted in me knowing zero of the language :-)

(downloading the PDF now - I'm sure if it gets laminated it'll work but that pocket thing... very handy)

Arrow point it

Another solution:



POINT-IT picture dictionary Graf Editions
as mentioned in a thread a while back

Nice, though a little small it gives a few smiles.

couldnt u do the same with a phone or palmtop, mp3,ipod with clipart type images?
a memory card could be easily filled with everything you could need and then stuck in when needed. some cameras and gps[not sure] could also be used for same thing.
