Just found this excellent site with Japanese phrases for travelers with audio files to listen to the pronunciation. It's very extensive to cover many different situations that travelers may need. I'm just copying down some useful phrases to use in restaurants, like "What do you recommend?" , "What is your specialty?", etc.

Wish there's a free Android app like this too (without requiring internet connection)! Anyone know of one?

I use an iPhone so don't know android but there is an app called Jibbgo-jp that really works well

Aloha!

HT, Android doesn't have that app. Oh well, I already downloaded some free apps with very simple phrases. Should be ok. When all else fails, I'll resort to gestures and pantomime, which have helped me survive on many foreign trips in the past.
