Abstract:

A communication apparatus enabling a person speaking a native language to communicate with a person who speaks a foreign language or target language. The communication apparatus includes graphic symbols depicting objects which are commonly understood in both the native language and the target language, and text in both the native language and the target language, which is used in conjunction with the graphic symbols. The native language text includes phonetic spellings of the phrases which were translated into the target language. The communication apparatus is applied to any article which is worn, carried or used by persons speaking the native language. The native language text may be inverted so that it is viewable by the wearer of a garment upon which the present invention is applied. Communication is accomplished by selectively pointing to different areas in the grid containing the text and graphic symbols, and by simultaneously pronouncing the phonetic spellings of the phrases.
