Do you have to travel to a foreign country soon, but don’t know the language? No problem! Lexiconium,com can help you express basic needs in one of 40 languages. The premise of Lexiconium.com is that often travelers don’t have the time to learn a language before their trip. They might use phrase books, but these are often inconvenient as they include way too many phrases that no one actually needs to say. So Lexiconium.com only provides you with the 20 most importan
t words and ideas in every language. These include, for instance, “yes, no, thanks, please, eat, drink, sleep, good, bad.”
If you are a native speaker of one of the languages offered on Lexiconium.com, you can also contribute and check the existing translations for mistakes. Lexiconium.com obviously won’t make you proficient in a foreign language, but it can help you with the most basic task and essentially help you survive (you are able to ask where the bathroom is and you’ll know how to say “May I have sex?”).
Lexiconium is free and works in a browser.
