This translator site listed could help with some of what your looking for but you would look silly carrying a desktop computer around.....j/k. http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/

For each language that you translate; copy and paste it into Notebook; the phrases you would need.. When finished, print a final result.

When travelling abroad,associating yourself with words or phrases could be confusing for different languages. Just remember 3 basic needs for people; food, shelter, clothing. You could leave clothing as an optional item. Some countries words you already know if you are in the USA. Delicatessen or a deli for short. The word is actually German.

One phrase you should ask is: Do you speak English? could save alot of time.People that work in higher priced hotels and restaurants may speak English due to the clientelle that frequent there. Don't forget to be polite. Thanks or thank you goes a long way.

I know this answer may be seen as ignorance but I have been to Germany, Finland,Denmark and Estonia and English was spoken and understood widely. I think English is less used outside the major cities in Finland and especially Estonia but on the whole if you cant speak the language too fluently it shouldnt be much of a hinderence to you.

As a Swede i'm able to looking it somewhat complicated or close to to not plausible to appreciate, as an instance, a Danish speaker, even inspite of the actuality that reading Danish can be a chunk of cake. on the different hand, Norwegian is a techniques a lot less stressful. There are Swedish dialects that are harder to appreciate than Norwegian, for different Swedes. Icelandic is a completely diverse tale. And to get the words excellent. they're all Germanic languages, in basic terms diverse twigs of an similar branch. English is likewise a Germanic language, even inspite of the actuality that the vocabulary those days is really loanwords from French and Latin.

hi - privet
thank you - spasibo
how are you - kak pagivaiesh (but in Russia isn't common to ask everyone how is he)
