Just under a year ago (Mobile words) I wrote about Coolgorilla’s free audio phrase books for iPods. Those are now free with a purchase of something from travel/tourism site lastminute.com. But the new version, Talking Mobile Phrase Books, for cellphones/mobile phones is completely free for now at least (also sponsored by lastminute.com).
You can download French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. They’re planning on adding Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Swedish, and other languages in the future.
You don’t have to be able to pronounce the foreign language; just find the expression you want and let the phrase book say it.
Thanks to Roy Forsdick, Managing Director, iDev Entertainment (apparently Coolgorilla is their brand) for informing me about this.
