Some people give up trying to learn a foreign language. It can seem too much like hard work. But the problem comes when they go abroad on holidays and find they cannot communicate. How do they ask the way, order a cup of coffee, or ask the price of something?
Keith Chiwick thinks he has the answer to this problem. " I have got a machine which talks in different languages. I feel that I could go to any country in the world and converse with any foreigner," he says. Keith is an inventor. His invention is an electronic machine which produces phrases in four different languages, French, German, Italian and English. Unlike the phrase books, this machine has a voice. It looks like a cassette recorder.
Imagine you want to say, "What time is the next train for Munich?" in German. First, you find the right card for that question. Each card has four strips of tape on it, one for each language. The cards are small, seven by nine centimeters, and each one can store up to two hundred and forty words. You run a pickup head along the tape and— hey presto! —A voice comes out of the amplifier, asking the question. The person at the information desk may get a surprise, but you will get your answer’
Keith hopes that an electronics company will buy his idea and develop it commercially to sell it to tourists. Meanwhile, he’ s working on more new ideas. "It’ s just a hobby for me. Some people like playing golf or bingo, but I like making new things" , he said.
