Say it
How to say it in 16 languages
Each of these pages takes one everyday phrase and shows it in all 16 languages Crossing covers, side by side, the way the app does. Regional variants sit next to each other, so you can see where Mexico and Spain agree and where they don't. Every version has the native script, a romanization where the script isn't Latin, a pronunciation guide written for English speakers, and notes on formality and on forms that change for a man or a woman.
