The Cuisine module adds over 190 special culinary phrases and vocabulary terms to Version 4 of the MobiLearn English-French-German-Italian-Spanish Talking Phrasebook. When this add-on module is installed on a Pocket PC that contains the required Talking Phrasebook or Miniphrasebook, Cuisine becomes a new subcategory under the Out & About category. For greatest efficiency, we recommend that you install this program on a CF or SD storage card.

How It Works

Suppose you're dining in Naples and want to order a carafe of the red house wine:

1. On the home screen, select English-Italian as the (From)-(To) languages.
2. Tap the Out & About icon.
3. In the Out & About list, tap the Cuisine category.
4. Scroll through the Cuisine phrase list and tap "We want a carafe of the red house wine."

You'll see the Italian equivalent, "Ci porti una caraffa di vino rosso della casa," in the gold translation window. To hear it out loud, tap the translation window. Then when you're ready to order, just repeat the phrase to express yourself in natural Italian. To do the same in Paris, select English-French, then repeat the steps you followed for Italian. You'll see the parallel French phrase, "Nous aimerions le pichet de vin rouge de la maison" in the gold translation window. To hear it out loud, tap the translation window. You can do likewise to hear and speak the equivalent German and Italian phrases. To translate in the other direction--say, French to English--select French-English as the (From)-(To) languages, then proceed in the same way.
