There's also the "use Google Translate to talk (in writing) to someone in a foreign language, without a language in common" that I've done several times.

This is how I communicated with banks when I lived in China. Baidu translate. They were trained to do this with foreigners.

I hope it's better than Google translate with Japanese, because that's almost completely unusable for anything longer than one or two words. GT does much better with European languages to/from English, I suppose because of the shared ancestry...
