No need to lazy anymore, learn the language.



The website for the new Nintendo DS phrasebook has been launched today. The software is called 'The Original Point-and-Speak' phrasebook, and can translate into five different languages, English, Thai, Chinese, Korean and German.

Ever wondered how to say, 'Excuse me, could you tell me where I can buy some Lederhosen?', whilst travelling around Germany. Have no fear, this new software will translate it for you.

The software includes a simple phrase book for each language plus an audio feature which pronounces words in the new language. There is also a conversation helper which will translate simple phrases that may come in useful, such as introducing yourself, renting a car, or ordering a taxi.

Each of the five versions of the software will ship to the five countries on April 20th.
