if you have a smartphone, you will find probably a free one, or for a few bucks.

take one that has an option to speak it out for you, as well as basic phonetic spelling.

very useful when in mainland china, as some areas people literally don't even know yes or no.

Why do you think you need a language translator for Hong Kong?
What are you planning on doing there already?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Haha! Well they start the price off at really high and everywhere I tried to bargain I couldn't get them so low, and finally in one place (we called it "fake market") in shanghai (pudong) I got it for $9 (to be precise)
But I'm sure if u actually know how to bargain u can get it for lower, u have a point!
I got the french lang. Btw
I don't think in HK u need a translator many ppl speak english unlike shanghai

The OP needs the translator to ensure he can bargain well enough to get Rosetta Stone for $10 :D

Funnt but very true! Sometimes there's a huge lack of communication that all the bargaining is done on a calculator. (When they write 250, I press minus 210 and = and we keep going back and forth like that) :)

so 250 - 210 = 40 - 210 = -170 - 210 = -380....

Thats how you become rich.

lol.. i didnt mean it that way, though if that worked would be awesome!
i meant 250-210= 40 than they clear and press 200 so i pressed - 160 = 40 until they actually gave me for 40!
