Looking to learn a new language? My app of the week is basically like having a translator in your pocket!

Not to completely knock Google translate, but I have an app that is so much better!

Maybe you remember my previous AOTW, Duolingo? Well, 'Phrasebook' is similar to Duolingo, except that it teaches you common phrases in languages like Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, etc.

I like it a little more because let's say you didn't have time to learn the language. With 'Phrasebook' you learn basic phrases like 'please and thank you' or 'where's the bathroom?' in case you're in another country, OR happen to make new foreign friends.

It's a great stepping stone before you become fluent in a language.

OR, you can totally fake your way through and pretend to know the language.

Give it a try! It's free for Apple and Android phones.
