Recommendation for electronic talking translator
Has anyone had experience with Lingo
brand talking translator? I have upcoming trips to the Czech republic, and Hungary. Lingo
sells a product that includes those
languages. Are they worth the $135 ($250 retail)? or just another gadget? Would it be wiser simply
to buy Berlitz tapes/paperback
dictionaries to get a few
basic phrases?Thanks.

If you are only going to be in touristy areas I doubt that you would need a translator, but a phrase book might come in handy.
You could learn some basics with some of the free online language courses.

While checking out the French lessons, I noticed they have Czech and Hungarian phrases you can listen to, print or download to an mp3 player on
