Portuguese Trocal

Someone in Portugal asked you a question in broken English, ‘How are you?’ Would it not be awesome if you could refer to a language translation app on your handheld, access its everyday life words dictionary, quickly hear out the Portuguese language translation on the earphone and reply ‘Bem, obrigada!’ (I’m fine. Thanks!) Well, we have just that app for you! Portuguese Trocal is a language translation app that utilizes video and voice tutorials to help travelers like you from everywhere, easily learn and have the most common conversations in Portuguese. The Portuguese Trocal translation app contains more than 500 important Portuguese phrases and words that people like yourself would find as your best translation companion while going around Lisbon or chatting up with someone in Porto.

For each phrase in the app’s in built Portuguese dictionary, there is a video of a native speaker clearly pronouncing each word, the Portuguese script and also its phonetic pronunciation. For convenience, the phrases are grouped into categories for the most common travel situations including Getting Around, Eating & Drinking, Health, Problems, Numbers, Time and Date, Meeting People, Shopping and Money. Other great features include the ability to playback each phrase in slow mode and mark favorites for quick reference. You can even copy the phrase to send via SMS or email to your friends in their native language just by swiping your finger a couple of times. It is so easy! This great translation app is targeted towards travellers primarily but it also doubles up as a cool educational tool for those who desire to start learning the basics of a foreign language in an easy, fast and fun way.

The app works completely offline so no need to worry about expensive international data costs or searching for an open WIFI network. No you can focus on the fairy tale unfolding around you at Sintra!
