We immediately struck up a conversation and she told me how excited she was to be coming on this holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy was a widow whose husband had died a few months earlier. She\u2019d always wanted to visit Italy, and was convinced by her family to sign up for a coach holiday.<\/p>\n<p>She only knew a few Italian phrases, but said she had an <a href='https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/translators\/'>electronic translator<\/a> \u2013 a\u00a0two-way <a href='https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/translators\/'>translation device<\/a>\u00a0that translates real life\u00a0conversations \u2013 bought by her granddaughter as a going away present.\u00a0It was simple and quick to use, even easier than her mobile phone, she said<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/translators\/vasco-translator-v4\">Speak More Languages Now<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6_makes_communication_so_easy_%E2%80%A6\"><\/span><strong>\u2026 makes communication so easy \u2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With our suitcases safely stowed, we boarded the coach and I took my seat next to a middle-aged German man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSprechen sie Deutsch?\u201d he said rather sternly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNein,\u201d I replied quietly. \u201cDo you speak English?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He shook his head. This was going to be difficult, I thought, as I stared out of the window, unsure of how we were going to communicate over the next week.<\/p>\n<p>I was relieved to see that Dorothy had been allocated a seat across the aisle from me. Next to her was a rather handsome elderly Italian gentleman, and as she took her seat, they exchanged a few pleasantries in their broken English and Italian. \u201cGiovanni,\u201d I hear him say, and it all went quiet, as they presumably reached the limits of their foreign language ability.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy then reached into her handbag and pulled out a smart-looking electronic device. She switched it on, spoke into it and pressed a button. The device repeated her sentence in fluent Italian. The man next to her smiled and said something in reply that Dorothy didn\u2019t understand. She gave him the <a href='https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/translators\/'>electronic translator<\/a> to speak into \u2013 he repeated his sentence, pressed the button and out came his reply in perfect English!<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy laughed \u2026 Giovanni laughed \u2026 and I looked at the man next to me and giggled \u2026 nervously.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6_you_never_know_who_you_might_meet\"><\/span><strong>\u2026 you never know who you might meet!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the rest of the week, Dorothy and Giovanni were inseparable.
