Not a day goes by when we don't hear or read about "globalization" or our ever-shrinking world. So, how come we still can't communicate one-on-one with the majority of the world's population?
Part of the problem is the shear number of languages involved: If you wanted to say hello to everybody in the world, you would have to learn at least 2,796 languages! A bit beyond most people's reach...
But don't let languages scare you. The Say Hello to the World project enables you to break out of a monolingual world by teaching you how to introduce yourself in dozens of languages.
Each language page features the English text, the corresponding local language version, and a pronunciation guide. For most languages, a sound file is available as well.
It's a big world out there. So go out and announce yourself:
Konichiwa. Watakushi-wa Andres, desu.
