Ohayo! I have a scheduled call with my family in Japan every month. We try to keep in touch, though it's been 10 years. My skill at speaking or even understanding Japanese has declined precipitously due to lack of practice and traveling to other parts of the globe since I lived there last. I'm wondering if you know of a good, on the fly, translator app to help the flow of conversation when my brain hits a brick wall and can't get past it...

Hello everyone, While fluent in nothing (some days not even English, my native tongue), I try hard at Japanese, French, some Spanish and some Slovak. I finished high school in Japan and still keep in touch with my family there. We have calls once a month or so - and it's 10 years later! My Japanese has seriously declined, and I could use some refreshing! I studied French before I went to Japan, then met my husband and we traveled to France twice. So, sometimes I get the two languages mixed up in my head. We also have traveled to Spain, and spent considerable time in Mexico and Costa Rica...and oh man is my Spanish bad. I can usually understand what I'm reading, but I can't seem to form coherent conversation without feeling extremely silly. And finally Slovak. My husband is Slovak and his parents are trying to teach our kids so the languages stays 'present' in the family. I would love to find some chat buddies to practice with!
