It's basically a phrasebook.
I had high hopes for this when I bought it. I was glad to finally find a DS language title that includes Italian and German. Unfortunately, it is very limited. It has a decent phrasebook, but it is a bit tedious because you have to select the category, then the sub catagory, then the phrase.

Decent Audio
This has proven to be an interesting product although limited on vocabulary, but the audio portion is decent and helps in learning the pronunciation & gives good basic overviews of each of the languages.

This review is from: Just In Time Translations (Video Game)
I had high hopes for this when I bought it. I was glad to finally find a DS language title that includes Italian and German. Unfortunately, it is very limited. It has a decent phrasebook, but it is a bit tedious because you have to select the category, then the sub catagory, then the phrase. When you get to the phrase, you can see it scroll past (a bit too slowly in my opinion) and you can listen to it spoken. You can also see the phonetic spelling. To see another phrase, you have to go back to the previous screen. One plus is that you can translate the same phrase into all 6 languages and listen to it in all 6 languages plus English without changing screens. Another plus is that the audio is pretty decent human speech in all 6 languages and English.
There is no dictionary, only a phrasebook, so you can't look anything up alphabetically. There is also a calculator, a unit converter, and a currency convertor. You can edit the default values for the currency conversion, and it will store the values you put in. The instruction book doesn't tell how to do this, but there is an edit button in the currency convertor screen. It will let you edit any currency except US dollars. For each currency, you enter how many US dollars in 1 of that currency.
The description mentions mini-games. The only game is a "Word Challenge" where you can select the main language and translation language. The game will show you a phrase in the main language, and you have to select from three possible translation phrases in the translation language. It will tell you if you were right or wrong, but it will not show you the correct answer. It just goes to the next phrase. It would be more correctly termed a "phrase challenge". I think that the biggest irritation is that the box mentions "mini-games" and there is only one game, and it isn't a very good one.
