“SpeakSheets were very helpful for our trip to Japan, especially for my friend who has very little familiarity with Japanese.”
– Carrie S., Ventura, CA
“We are traveling to France, near Grenoble, where my future in-laws live
six months out of the year. The one downside is we have no
French-speaking ability, so we’ll just put our smiles on and bring our
SpeakSheets!”
– Lisa M., Ojai, CA
“It’s great to have my SpeakSheets when visiting a foreign language country. I went to France at the beginning of the year, and now i’m on my way to Italy. What i like is i get the English, then the Italian spelling and then the detailed phonetic info. Also each category of phrases is in an easy to find box.”
