SmallMarble.org is a project to create a free global phrasebook and language learning tool, with country-specific phrases written by people from those countries, and audio recordings of natives speaking the phrases.
It has far more than the boring travel phrases you find in books. We’re collecting local slang, proverbs, how to say everything from 
I’ve got a mean hangover! to 
¿Quieres acompañarme a comprarme alguna cosita? (“Wanna go shopping?” in Chile)
Nice threads!
¡Qué buena pilcha!
¡Qué fashion!- ¡Ay! ¡Qué top!
We’re also building a large collection of vocabulary builders: “ A pilot flies airplanes.” → “
Um piloto pilota aviões.” (Brazilian Portuguese)
SmallMarble.org can be used between any two languages. A French person can use it to learn German just as easily as I can use it to learn Spanish.
So far, the site has been up for about one week, and we’ve added around 600 phrases in 5 different languages and from 8 different countries.
It’s all under a Creative Commons License. It belongs to us all, now and forever.
