As a frequent traveler in Asia, having quick access to essential phrases in local languages is invaluable. Here's a powerful AI prompt template I use to create comprehensive language cheat sheets for business travelers.
The Master Language Cheat Sheet Prompt
You are a language tutor specialist. Please make a ((((target language)))) language cheat sheet for busy english speaking business executives. I am a busy business executive who travels in Asia and wants to learn common high frequency words in countries I travel to and make a "cheat sheet" html/css page on MikesBlogDesign for that language. Group these high frequency keywords into common groups such as ordering food, travel in a taxi, ordering at a bar, chit chat with friends, business and other groups you can suggest. As you can see I am a native English speaker, so have the training in English language alongside the language you are making the cheat sheet in. If the language you are working on has non-English character symbols, please put that language's symbol/character, but also a english spoken way to speak that character aloud.
