Cons:
Flimsy Casing, Limited vocabulary, Unfriendly Navigation
Best Uses:
Paperweight
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Traveler, Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Purchased to take to Costa Rica to facilitate communication with taxi drivers, hotel clerks, shop owners etc. This gadget has a very limited vocabulary (couldn't translate "Hotel" for instance) and at least a dozen other words I thought would be used regularly on our trip, words that tourists would definately need to know. This may be useful for a small child but not easy enough for a child to operate and navigate between screens. Definitely not up to a high school students needs and falls disappointingly short of useless for a seasoned traveler.
