Each edition of Lingolook Flashcards for Foreign Travel includes over 500 translations; 300 are audio translations recorded by native speakers to help users perfect pronunciation and communicate abroad with ease. All words and phrases are showcased on 75 illustrated, digital flashcards and helpfully organized by travel category and searchable through a comprehensive index. The Reference section includes all-important menu readers, numbers, travel tips and more.

"We set out to offer global travelers a fun and useful tool to communicate abroad," says Lingolook co-founder Dominique Godefroy. "Our goal is to give travelers practical content in an easy-to-use, well-designed format, and the iPhone's Multi-Touch technology certainly helps accomplish that. Users can master pronunciation of essential phrases with instant replay of audio translations, whether it's 'airport' to a taxi driver, 'wine' at a restaurant, or 'check-in' at a hotel. We hope travelers will get by in a flash -- with a tap of their touch-screens!"

Lingolook's iPhone and iTouch versions are based on the company's print editions, launched in late 2007 and available at www.amazon.com and www.Lingolook.net for $11.95 each.
