A phrasebook tells you what a word means. A trip shows you what it does.
The Word Collection is a field notebook for the words you pick up while travelling: the ones that bought you a coffee, made a stranger laugh, or got you gently corrected by a local. It works with any language and any destination, whether you’re learning a language seriously or just want to remember the words that made your trip.

First Words: postmark-style boxes for the first word you used in each new place
The Word Collection: the main log for each word, who said it, what you thought it meant and what it actually did
False Friends: words that looked familiar and weren’t
Untranslatables: words with no neat English equivalent
Five Prompts: reflective writing prompts for a café table or the last night of your trip
