Do you want something useful (being able to possibly communicate with someone) or a language that nobody around there speaks, but would be fun to use?
Ah, I went with practicality - #1 Son is going to Paris in October (school trip), so I've asked for the French phrasebook, since even French will have changed since I last went there.
Ah, it was a guide to Britain for Americans, including "translations" of various sayings, so I read it as a UK/US phrasebook.
Ah, I was thinking it would be the other way around.
Ours needs to be in the electronic form, since it changes nearly daily LOL
Congrats to all. My only "travels", mostly within the states with a run or three to Canada, have ended in, or included much tragedy or at very least, a lot of inconvenience. *sigh* I just don't "travel well" ...

Congrats to everyone, and thanks to everyone who voted for me! Great idea for a contest, it's awesome to see what people will come up with.
I think I'll get a French phrase book and then I can catch Eurostar and go on another day trip to Paris in October and perhaps people might understand me!
Darn, I lost again, oh well.
Anyway, congratulations everyone!
