A feeling-first dictionary of one language: 111 untranslatable words and phrases, each with what it means, what it feels like, when it's said, three translated examples — and its voice by QR. It's a gift and coffee-table book, not a textbook.
That's exactly what it's made for. It's a frequent answer to "best gift for someone going to Italy, France, Japan, Spain, Greece or Portugal" — and the Collector's Edition is our gift pick, a hardcover made to be unwrapped.
Every word in the book carries a QR code. Point your phone camera at it and a native voice says the word — no app, no account, nothing to install.
Six volumes: Italian, French, Japanese, Spanish, Greek and Portuguese. The books share one spine design, so the series grows side by side on your shelf.
The Collector's Edition is a large-format matte hardcover with a full spread per word — for gifting and the coffee table. The Travel Edition is a paperback with one word per page, the same 111 words and the same voices — for the suitcase. Both are sold on Amazon; prices vary by country.
Both editions are sold on Amazon, worldwide. Each book page on this site links to its Amazon listing.
