Last November Talkman was a unique hit that showed PSP owners how easy and fun it can be to learn various phrases in Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean and English. The very idea behind the translator however came three years ago when the producer, Yoshi Yamamoto, was on vacation in Europe and couldn't talk to a beautiful Italian lady sitting all alone on a bench. Finally out this week, and just in time for the World Cup in Germany, Talkman Euro offers up six languages used in 95 countries across the globe; French, German, Spanish, Italian, British English and Japanese.

There's over 3000 sentences (not all pick up lines I assume!) to go across 28 scenes such as an airport, hotel, shops, restaurant, taxi, hospital and many more. You can also save voice recordings, convert currency, length, weight, area, temperature (despite the fact every country listed all use the Metric system), and play one of several mini games to make learning as fun as it should have been back in High School. Your pronunciation will be rated from A to D, while another game has you guess the correct meaning of a phrase from multiple choices. Coming complete with a mini microphone that plugs into the top of your PSP, Talkman Euro is due in this week, and since the handheld and all its games are region free, anyone from around the world can learn a language when the title arrives this week.
