Choose a situation
Start with what you are trying to do, not an abstract vocabulary list.
A travel phrasebook
In early development
Useful phrases for the moments when pointing, smiling, and hoping for the best is not quite enough.
Say It Local is being designed for the road: practice before you leave, then find the right phrase quickly when you are there. A TestFlight beta will be available soon.
Practise the phrases you are likely to need, while they are still easy to forget.
Open the app, find the situation, and get back to the conversation.
The useful middle ground
Say It Local is for the small exchanges that make a trip work: ordering, asking, checking, thanking, and trying again.
The aim is not to turn travel into homework. It is to help the phrases you already care about stay close at hand.
A quick reference for the situation you are actually in—not a wall of vocabulary.
A simple loop
Start with what you are trying to do, not an abstract vocabulary list.
Short flashcard sessions make useful phrases easier to reach for.
When you are out, reference should be quick enough to stay part of the conversation.
Still taking shape
Language support, pricing, and availability are not final yet. The core idea is: a phrasebook that helps you prepare without getting in your way when the trip begins.
