Pointing at menus abroad?
Tourists point at menus abroad yearly. Connection never happens.
1. The problem
Short-trip travelers land abroad pointing at menus yearly. Phrasebooks stay packed unread. Pronunciation terrifies shy speakers. Locals switch to English instantly. The hardest part is usable speech fast. A trip might last five days. That uncertainty makes it hard to connect locally.
“Pointing yearly abroad here. I need phrase packs with audio drills.”
2. What exists
Duolingo, phrasebooks and Google Translate teach phrases, while tourists mime on. Courses overteach grammar. A book might stay packed. There is little help with trip-specific phrase packs plus audio flows for travelers.
3. The solution
The solution could be a arrive-speaking engine. It could pack key phrases per trip simply. It could drill audio daily briefly. Offline modes could work anywhere. The goal would be understood travelers, warmer trips.
