Here's to future cooperation between our organizations!
I have never traveled outside of the U.S. but plan to once I figure out a safe way to be unconscious the entire plane ride. In the meantime I will have to brush up on my foreign languages (as if I know them already) and learn some helpful phrases that I just know I will come across.
If I ever find myself in Russia fumbling for the correct way to tell my dance partner that I can't do the cha cha I'll just reach for Berlitz Russian for Travellers.
I can't do the cha-cha.
Ja ne umeju tantsevatj cha-cha-cha.

Ja vozjmu u vas mochu na analiz.
I'd like to buy a pair of binoculars.

Ja by vzjal dichi ili ptitsy.
Here's to future cooperation between our organizations!
