Franklin Language Translator

http://live.pirillo.com/ - While in Frankfurt recently, we had an amazing time. The food was great, the people were friendly, and the city was beautiful. However, Ponzi and I neither one speak a lick of German.
We managed to get around by using hand gestures, pointing, smiling a lot, and saying “Sprechen Sie Englisch?” often. I am a coffee fanatic, and there is ONE thing I must have in my coffee… real, heavy cream. When I would ask for it in Germany, they kept bringing me milk or half and half. So, off to Conrad’s we went. This store is kind of like a Best Buy meets Radio Shack. The prices weren’t bad, I suppose. I picked up a handy little Franklin Language Translator. I was able to type in a word or phrase, and instantly translate it into German. Of course, my pronunciation still left a lot to be desired. But overall, it helped Ponzi and I communicate a bit better during our stay.
Even though the word Internet is apparently pronounced the same in every single language I tried… for the most part, this little device works really well.

assumed that different countries used different words for it, you know? You can buy bread in Spain, but you’re not looking for bread. You’re looking for “pan.” Why would accessing the internet be any different from buying a loaf of bread? ViaChris Pirillo.

nice interesting device..allthough 199 euro is a lot of money.
After buying this device, were you able to translate the word “cream”
in german, and did you get the “heavy cream” u wanted?
