I live in a household where I am the only ne who speaks English.  Leihu the cat does not,  Carol can understand but cannot speak, and the two caregivers only speak Mandarin.  SOOOO instead of using google translate and making funny charade like gestures, I have found there really are Startrek like earbud translators.  40 languages, 93 dialects and 8 off line languages.   I have just started learning how to use them but my hopes are sky high.    Here is a link
