I purchased this with my parents in mind for an upcoming trip they would be taking to Europe. Fortunately both my parents can use this new toy with ease. I recommended to them that they make copies of the list of phrases that are included. However, one thing that baffled both my mom and I is that the simple phrase "thank you" is no where to be found. kind of stupid if you ask me. That would be my main reason for only giving it 4 stars and not 5. Other than that I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this product to others.

Our new ENTOURAGE11 arrived earlier today. My wife and I will be cruising the Mediterranean soon and will be visiting several countries. The ENTOURAGE11 will fit the bill perfectly. Right out of the box, its up and running in a matter of minutes. Instructions are clear and the device is simple to learn and use. I suspect there may be phrases that I won't find in the device but most of those I can see myself using are in there. I'm especially pleased with the clarity of the speaker. It makes it very versatile. We can either learn/repeat the phrase or let the ENTOURAGE11 speak for us. It was a steal at the price and I am anxious to start using it in Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, etc. etc..

I bought this for my husband who is interested and quite procient in learning foreign languages when we travel. When we first received it we did a test drive on the Chinese version since we speak the language, and the translations and pronunciations prove to be accurate and clear. We were impressed. Now all we need to do is to take it on the road.

I purchased this translator for a trip to French speaking Montreal Canada. There were some very useful phases on this translator.
I would have preferred to have been able to look up individual words instead of complete phrases, however I felt silly using the translator as I had many stares from the locals when I used the computer sounding audio feature of this translator, so I would suggest if using this device, use a set of ear buds. Over all it was fun to look up phrases but from a practical position I say save your money.

I purchased the Translator to provide French phrases while I visited the Seychelles Islands in July 2009. It provides exactly what it promises. You can select from 700 English phrases, then it pronounces your selection in French while displaying the French spelling. You need to learn a few French nouns to expand some questions with a verbal substitute. It is a little cumbersome and time consuming to find the English phrase you want to want to translate. But the biggest problem was that 90% of the people on these islands are bi- or tri-lingual and speak English better than I do. I was able to use it only 5 or 6 times, but in those instances it really came in handy. If French were the only language in your location it would be worth its weight in gold. I don't think it helped me learn the language, but that is a circumstance of where I was using it. It does enable you to communicate on a basic level and for the inexpensive price, very worthwhile.

The translator is very simple to use. I think the instructions could be made a little easier for the technically challenged. The audio is very clear and the translated language scrolls across the screen--enabling one to become familiar with commmon word spelling so one could recognize signs ect. I would reccommend as I travel internationally extensively.Nyrius Global ENTOURAGE11 Talking Travel Translator for 11 International Languages

I read an article about this translator and paid about the same amount for a non talking one. This one is excellent, you cannot beat the price & everything is crystal clear. Definite MUST HAVE for people who travel a lot like myself! My son loves to use it too and it is easy enough to just figure out.

Works well, good quality, easy to use and accurate accents for each language, but not a translator at all. Just pre-stored phrase holder. Misleading description. Disappointing in terms of not what I expected.

I just got my Nyrius Global ENTOURAGE11. I unpacked it, did the setup, and tried the translations. It worked fine for about 10 minutes, then the screen displayed a bunch of vertical lines. I turned it off and back on. It worked for 5 minutes then went blank. I could not get it to function after that.
The first 10 minutes it worked fine.

While the product is exactly as promised, I am not thrilled with it. The product description is very accurate, and explains what the product does, but to me it was not useful. I do not have the patience to scroll through a long list of possible phrases that do not exactly match what I need or want to say. There is a favorites feature that could be useful if I only wanted to say a few things... I found this product to be exactly what it is a phrasebook that speaks in many languages.
