Planning is underway!!

We are now thoroughly immersed in Rick Steve's Budapest and Prague guide books, perusing Web sites, blogs, and Cruise Critic to decide what to do on our added days in those cities (sights not included in our riverboat trip), and trying valiantly to learn the most important phrases in both Hungarian and Czech languages.  As you might guess, I've been all over the Internet looking for online and Android Apps. that can teach us how to pronounce key words (please, thank you, toilet, etc.).
Google Translate is amazing...not only does it translate words and phrases but it pronounces the words for you online.  The Android app. only does this in Spanish but we are hopeful that as more languages are added  the conversation mode will how up in 'our' languages.

Anyone who wants a good laugh should come by and listen to 'our' version of these difficult Central European languages.  By the way, although Americans refer to Eastern Europe, the people who live there prefer Central Europe since the Eastern adjective, in their minds, refers to the communist era.
