When we asked you in our recent survey why you were learning a language, almost half of you said it was for travel. Which makes perfect sense, of course – why learn a language unless you plan to use it?
As you know, our uTalk app is designed for people who are travelling, who want to learn a few simple words before leaving home, waiting to board your flight, or even when you arrive. Because if you know even a little of the local language, it can make all the difference to your trip – that’s something else you told us!
Because we know travel can be an expensive business, we’re offering one lucky winner a prepaid travel card worth US$100 (or equivalent in other currencies), and a free uTalk Premium in a language of your choice – check uTalk.com to see which ones are available. uTalk Premium includes 1,200 words and phrases across 35 categories in your chosen language – that should keep you busy for a while…
If you’d like to see what uTalk’s all about, check out our guided tour.

I am going travelling on my motorbike next year and I do not want to embarrass myself by not even trying to speak another language. Locals are more inclined to help if you show that you are at least making an effort!
Wow, that sounds amazing! Where are you planning to visit?
Getting a freighter to Norway then riding up to Nordkapp (Artic Circle) and then working my way south through Finland, The Baltic Countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia then getting a ferry to Italy and finally to Spain and back home to Somerset! My French is a bit rusty and I am learning Spanish so I am hoping that someone will understand me!
Amazing! uTalk is perfect for you then, you’ll be able to say hello, please and thank you (and find the toilets) in every country. Have a great time!
French, as my niece has just moved to Paris x
Ooh lucky her! Thanks and bonne chance 🙂
