| Example

As an example, let's try to reserve a table for two in Spain.
In the main screen, we click on the "Eating out" icon (or press ENTER)...

From the icons that are now presented, select the "Ordering" icon.

After these two clicks (in this case), you have already reached a level of detail where actual phrases are presented. At the bottom, the translation of the highlighted phrase is shown.

Should you have trouble with pronunciation, simply click on the phrase (or press ENTER), and the translation will be shown in a large font, so that you can simply show it to the waiter. Note that it is actually an editor, allowing you to enter any missing information (like the number of seats you wish to reserve).
Note the "Add script" button at the side. It allows you to prepare a "script" or "story", a collection of phrases that you can then use or show at once.
