If you love to travel but find it difficult to know the local(当地的) languages, you may need Iconspeak. It is a T-shirt. There are many basic pictographs(象形图画) on it, including different kinds of things from clocks to bathrooms.
With the Iconspeak T-shirt, you can make local people understand you easily. You only have to point to the pictograph, and it can easily tell the message. You don’t have to play charades(哑谜猜字) with them. The idea of Iconspeak comes from George Horn and Florian Nast. They were traveling in a village in Asia in 2013. They couldn’t understand the local language. And local people didn’t understand them. So they could not get any help. And that made their travel not easy or interesting. After that they came up with the Iconspeak T-shirt.
Horn and Nast say, “In some places of our world, there is a language barrier. We can not understand each other. That gets us think about how to solve the problem with an easiest way. With Iconspeak, you can speak to the world.” So just come and buy one for yourself!
