The Cuisine module adds over 190 special culinary expressions to Version 4 of the MobiLearn English-Italian Talking Phrasebook. When this add-on module is installed on a Pocket PC that contains the required Talking Phrasebook, Cuisine becomes a new subcategory under the Out & About category. For greatest efficiency, we recommend that you install this program on a CF or SD storage card.

Note: For elementary terms related to cuisine, purchase MobiLearn's 500 Nouns add-on, which contains vocabulary fundamentals including 162 culinary items. The Cuisine add-on module described here extends the vocabulary with more specialized expressions.

How It Works

Suppose you're dining in Rome and want to order a carafe of the red house wine:

1. On the home screen, select English-Italian as the (From)-(To) languages.
2. Tap the Out & About icon.
3. In the Out & About list, tap the Cuisine category.
4. Scroll through the Cuisine phrase list and tap "We want a carafe of the red house wine."

You'll see the Italian equivalent, "Ci porti una caraffa di vino rosso della casa," in the gold translation window. To hear it out loud, tap the translation window. Then when you're ready to order, just repeat the phrase to express yourself in natural Italian. To reverse the direction and translate from Italian to English, select Italian-English as the (From)-(To) languages, then proceed in the same way.

This add-on module requires the MobiLearn Talking Phrasebook (English-Italian), Version 4 or higher, as a foundation.  For further language tools in this series, see MobiLearn's other add-on modules: Dating, Driving, 500 Nouns, and 500 More Nouns.
