Ever wish those Listen and Learn Spanish CD’s included some pick-up lines for a night out in Barcelona? With the Saucy Phrasebook, now your iPhone can say it for you!

Most guidebooks won’t get you much further than “Where is the restroom?”. But with the Saucy Phrasebook, you’ll be prepared for those true emergencies with a variety of phrases.

Saucy Phrasebook

When you suspect a rickshaw driver of ripping you off, have your iPhone call out “Help! I just got swindled” in Hindi.

Too many sakes at that bar in Tokyo? Warn the bartender (and your fellow customers) with “I drank too much and I’m going to puke!”, spoken in perfect Japanese.

This app provides useful phrases and more, from the flirty pickup lines to more important ones. Best of all, each phrase is recorded by a native speaker so you’re sure to be understood.

The Saucy Phrasebook is available in six languages: Mandarin, French, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian.

Brought to you by SoSauce.com, the Saucy Phrasebook is compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch, and requires the iPhone 2.2.1 software update.

    Ha, this is a great idea. The Japanese should sound something like…

    “Nomi-sugi-ta…gebo dechau ka mo…gomen!

    How about something like, “Stop with the horrendous pickup lines, you are getting nowhere with this American”?
