About PhrasePort

PhrasePort is a travel phrasebook for your phone. It has ready-made phrases for the moments travelers actually meet, such as ordering food, finding the bathroom, paying, and asking for help. Every phrase has audio and a pronunciation guide that does not need any special alphabet.

What this site is for

The guides here explain what to say in a situation, how it sounds, and what to expect once you are there: how ordering works in a ramen shop, why a waiter may not bring a bill to your table, which words to avoid. Phrase lists alone are easy to find. We want the context around them to be useful too.

Who it is for

People taking a trip who do not speak the language and do not have time to learn it. If you want to become fluent, a language course is a better tool. If you want to get through a trip with confidence, this is for you.

Who writes the guides

PhrasePort is an independent app project. The guides are written by the PhrasePort team with the help of AI tools, then edited and checked against the app's phrase database. We ask native speakers to review the language and local customs, and each guide shows whether that review has happened. You can read the details in oureditorial policy.
