Travel Phrases Belong On The Lock Screen

For travel language practice, the useful card is not a full phrasebook. It is the five things I can actually say when I am tired at an airport or standing in front of a hotel desk.

For Italian, my first lock-screen version would be:

• Buongiorno. Good morning.
• Mi scusi. Excuse me.
• Parla inglese? Do you speak English?
• Non parlo bene italiano. I do not speak Italian well.
• Grazie. Thank you.

The 7:30am lesson can still have pronunciation notes and a tiny exercise. The lock screen should be smaller. No grammar table. No ten variations of please. Just the phrases I want available before I start digging through notes in a train station.
