Summer is fast approaching and all attention should be turning to holidays. Rather than just speaking slower and louder to the poor residents of your chosen destination, why not wow the locals with your language skills. I’ve picked out the top three translation apps for Android, which will hopefully get you started and help you learn the essentials, even if it is only to ask for “two beers please”!
Trippo Mondo
What makes this app different from all the others is that its aim is to tell you how a translated passage sounds, so it's great in helping you perfect the pronunciation of your chosen language. Don't worry it doesn't throw you in at the deep end, as it has speech speed settings, allowing you to progress at your own pace and eventually gets you talking like a local.
