You will not learn the language before a short trip, and you do not need to. A handful of phrases, said right, is what changes how you are treated. Each Trip Kit is that handful for one country, with the pronunciation and the tips that keep you out of the classic tourist mistakes.
Every card: the phrase, how to say it, what it means, and the tip. Open a destination to see one.
Pick the language spoken there. Mexico or Argentina? That is Spanish. Brazil is Portuguese, and German-speaking Switzerland has its own kit. One Trip Kit per language; more are being added.
Fifty finishes in a working week at ten new phrases a day, which is five to eight minutes of study. A hundred takes two weeks and starts to feel like a course. If you finish the fifty and want more, every kit points you to the 200-word Travel & Tourism deck for that language.
Most people who start a language app before a trip stop within a few days. So the first ten cards are the ones travelers say they actually used: the greetings, please and thank you, both kinds of excuse me, yes and no, do you speak English, I do not understand, goodbye. Stop after day one and you still land polite.
No. Every kit opens as a free study session in your browser, and the printable sheet needs nothing at all. A free account keeps your progress and schedules the reviews across the five days.
Every card carries a respelling you can read aloud, with the stressed syllable in capitals, and a play button that uses your browser voice. Japanese, Korean and Chinese use the standard romanisation with tones or long vowels marked.
Each kit is written for one country, then reviewed independently by a second editor who checks every phrase, respelling and country fact, such as ticket rules, tipping and emergency numbers, before it is published.
