If you are anything like me, you are not blessed with the ability to learn languages effectively. And from somebody who loves to travel but also failed out of intermediate Spanish in college, I have excellent news for you.

The iSpeech translator, an application available for both Android and iPhone users, allows the user to instantly translate phrases and questions from their native language to another simply by typing or speaking. The resulting text can either be read or simply shown to the person you are trying to communicate with in order to get your point across. If pronunciation really isn't your thing (I know rolling my "r's" is never going to happen), iSpeech will even read aloud these translations in 18 different languages, with more to come!

Instead of lugging around a heavy translator book, this application makes it easy to learn the phrases that you are going to be using the most on your travel adventure. Its ability to easily switch its translation from one language to another allows the user to customize and change the settings depending on what country you travel to. From a vacation to France to a full European adventure, this application has what you need to succeed!

I have attached the links to the application bios to this post so you can learn more about them! If you have plans to travel over the summer, these are a great addition!
