The Driving module adds over 190 special phrases and vocabulary terms to Version 4 of the MobiLearn English-Spanish Talking Phrasebook. When this add-on module is installed on a Pocket PC that contains the required Talking Phrasebook, Driving becomes a new subcategory under Transportation. For greatest efficiency, we recommend that you install this program on a CF or SD storage card.

Note: For elementary terms related to driving, first purchase MobiLearn's 500 Nouns, 500 More Nouns, or 1,000 Nouns add-ons, which contain vocabulary fundamentals. The Driving add-on module described here extends the vocabulary with more specialized terms.

How It Works

Suppose your car begins to overheat while you're driving through the Andes and you need to stop at a local garage to ask for help:

1. On the home screen, select English-Spanish as the (From)-(To) languages.
2. Tap the Transportation icon.
3. In the Transportation list, tap the Driving category.
4. Scroll through the Driving phrase list and tap "The engine is overheating."

You'll see the Spanish equivalent, "El motor se recalienta," in the gold translation window. To hear it out loud, tap the translation window. Then just repeat the phrase to the mechanic to explain the problem in natural Spanish. To reverse the direction and translate from Spanish to English, select Spanish-English as the (From)-(To) languages, then proceed in the same way.

This add-on module requires the MobiLearn Talking Phrasebook (English-Spanish), Version 4 or higher, as a foundation.  For further language tools in this series, see MobiLearn's other add-on modules: Cuisine, Dating, 500 Nouns, 500 More Nouns, and 1,000 Nouns.
