ChinaDeck is your perfect travel companion when visiting China when you don’t speak the language – and nobody understands yours. With over a 1000 color photos and symbols ChinaDeck is a powerful communications tool to help you in all kinds of situations. A user wrote and said “It is hard to put up a charade about parsley” And yes, is far more easy to open this app and show the picture! If there something you don’t eat or like you can cross out the picture show an image that everyone will understand. There is also a Negotiator to help you talk about prices, and you can use the camera to add your own pictures to the Favorites section.
