words:day

another thing handy for emergencies and a word i find very useful:

telephone
spanish: teléfono (teh-leh-fo-no)
french: téléphone (teh-leh-fone)
german: telefon (teh-leh-fon)
chinese: 電話 (di-el-xwa)
hindi: फोन (fone)

yeah, so everything is mostly the same unless you're parading around east asia. but according to the scene in "transformers" where the guy in qatar didn't understand telephone in an english accent but understood it in a somewhat middle eastern accent, i guess you'll have to practice pronunciation before your trip. seriously, movies are always right.
