Useful Phrases for Your Summer Travels

Many people use the spring and summer months to travel. If you happen to be traveling internationally, then this site is for you! It lists many useful phrases, and translates them to French, German, and Spanish.

Some of my favorites:
It's better in the States.
C'est mieux aux Etats-Unis.

How do I get Letterman?
Sur quelle chaîne je peux voir Letterman?

There's a corpse in the bed. Please change the sheets.
Il y a un cadavre sur le lit. S'il vous plaît, faites changer les draps.

I may be drunk, but tomorrow morning I shall be sober, and you will still be ugly.
Je suis peut-être saoul[e], mais demain matin je serai décuité[e], et tu seras toujours aussi hideux [hideuse].

I bet those machine guns are fake.
C'est du toc, toutes ces mitrailleuses.

I know I'm naked. Could you just tell me how to get back to the hotel?
Je le sais bien que je suis à poil; je veux simplement savoir comment rentrer à l'hôtel.

And MANY, MANY more!! These will ensure you make friends--wherever you go!

You Said

Lawren you forgot the two most important ones.
1. I would like a beer please.
2. Where is the bathroom?

Once those two were covered I was okay throughout Europe last summer :)

I so love that!

Será un placer volver a verle [verla], pero cuándo usted esté sobrio [sobria].

Bwahahaha!

My fave is "How much is that in real money?" Heh.

Says: Tony at April 20, 2004 03:16 PM

yeah, "where is the bathroom?" is the most important word. I think that you can cry "BATHROOM!!!" when you're in hurry:D. However, when you are in Japan, I recommend you to say "toilet". If you say "bathroom", Japanese will think that you want to take a bath.

Awesome - thanks LKM! I plan to print off the Italian translations & take them along. That is just the sort of shit my husband will insist on blurting out!
