BBC’s Quick Fix Dishes Essential Phrases In Foreign Languages

By Adam Pash on July 24, 2009 at 7:00 AM

If you want to brush up on a few important phrases before heading abroad on holiday (you know, because you’re all about good travel etiquette), the BBC’s Quick Fix site is a crash course in useful phrases in foreign languages.

The site covers 36 languages, from Albanian to Ukranian, and includes printable phrase-sheets and audio snippets of the phrases (like you see in the embedded player above) to help you get the pronunciations right. It’s certainly no replacement for learning the language (the parent site, BBC Languages, can help a bit more with that), but if you just want to get a few important phrases down so you can better navigate the natives, it seems like a nice resource.
