[geeks] Phrasebooks

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

Several friends of mine are trying to improve their Hebrew by using 
phrasebooks. They often lend or show me them. What I find missing in
them, and I assume in those of every language, are phrases that the
modern tourist needs to know.

So I thought it might be nice to throw this out as a discussion on 
an otherwise slow list, not only to generate traffic, but to put 
together a list of useful phrases now, so that they can be circulated
with translations by the summer when people need them.

The ones that come to my mind are things related to "geeky" subjects,
such as

"Were can I check my email for free?"
"Do you have free WiFi here"?
"Do you sell an adapter for my power plug?"
"Do you have a replacement power cord/supply for my iPod/laptop/cell phone?"
"Can you unlock my cell phone?"
"Do you sell cheap pay as you go SIM's?"
"Do you have VoIP phone I can use to call home?"


and so on...

Also not to offend anyone, but from what I have seen on TV and been
reading, a whole section on the purchase and use of condoms.

Geoff.
