Hey Product Hunt Community 👋
I’m David and I’m the creator of Five Phrases 🦜.
I built Five Phrases because I usually don't find the time to learn a new language (or just the basics of one) before I go on a trip.
What usually happens is that I'm trying to learn a few phrases on my way there and then trying to juggle very basic conversations with the help of some notes, random websites and Google translate. Usually just to order a drink and some food or to ask for the wifi password. Exhausting.
On one of these trips, having a chat with friends over a beer, we had the idea that knowing just a few (five) basic phrases in a language can make a huge difference.
Back at home I started working on it on my weekends, added a few more phrases, worked on the translations for a couple of languages and finally got this ready for launch.

Hey, what a great idea! Often found this to be the most "stable" way of reaching a certain degree of language proficiency in different countries. Just learn some phrases by heart! Just because I am curious: are these phrases typical for every language or are these strictly practical questions made in each language? Will try out anyway tho
