iSpeak a new language!

By Comments (3)

You’re a tourist walking around Dusseldorf and don’t speak a stitch of German. Too bad you have the sudden urge to find the washroom. Hmm, it must have been that currywurst you ate on the street.

Rather than fumbling through a language dictionary or spending money on one of those handheld electronic devices, iPod owners now have a better option. The iSpeak phrasebook – available in German, French, Spanish and Italian — turns your iPod (or any other MP3 player) into a language translation tool for on-the-spot reference and pronunciation.

Each audio package includes hundreds of keywords and phrases (totaling nearly 1,500 audio tracks), each organized into various categories.

Great idea! Er, I mean, bon idée!

The iSpeak CD series from McGraw-Hill costs $15.95 apiece, and can be purchased at many leading book stores or online at Amazon.ca or Chapters.indigo.ca.

    It is spelled Bonne idée!

    Ha Ha Julie. That was neat.

    This only goes to show, when it comes to product creation for people on the go, and due to the vast increase in technological advances, you are only limited by your imagination.

    Way to go McGraw-Hill for your creative design and decent pricing for iPod users.

    Yes,I agree with both of you because what if you're in France and say,"Je me suis belle"when you're a man?Or vice versa if you're a lady and say,"Est-ce-que je me suis bon?"Nice try.
