App teaches you to flirt in 10 languages

TripLingo

Why limit your chances of finding love by flirting only in English? You could easily multiply your odds by chatting up charming strangers in several other languages. And an iPhone app will help guide you through that process.

The app in question is the Romance Edition of TripLingo, a popular language-learning application for travelers. It is free and available for download through the Apple App Store.

TripLingo Romance Edition focuses on the phrases most relevant to seeking out romance, such as compliments, flirty lines, and activity suggestions.

The app includes over a thousand phrases in  Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Hindi and Castilian Spanish. The phrases are divided into four categories — formal, casual, slang and crazy — and you narrow down or expand your options using the "Slang Slider." In addition, there are audio examples, flashcards and a plain ol' dictionary — in other words, everything you need to stumble your way through a couple of dates.
