There's also jSpeak an app from NTT Docomo for mobile phone and Apple devices. I used it on my iPad while in the hospital for knee surgery three weeks in June. It's not perfect, but it was lots of fun interacting with the nurses and they laughed quite a bit.
NTT Docomo makes voice translator app available for iPhone
NTT Docomo Inc. said Monday that its Jspeak smartphone voice translator application for foreign tourists in Japan has been made available for users of Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
The app, released in November for smartphones using Google Inc.’s Android operating system, can carry out voice translations between Japanese and five other languages: English, Chinese, Korean, Thai and Indonesian.
The app can be used free of charge until May.

And more info from the Docomo site-it also helps you get around sightseeing and eating out.

You were able to use that successfully?
I've found even the best translation apps goof up complex topics. Even when I try to keep sentences simple, there is a pretty good chance it will take a sentence in an entirely different direction.
I use translation apps as dictionaries for the most part.
Depends how wealthy he is.
It's easy to get by in Japan with zero Japanese if you live in Roppongi, Akasaka, Azabujuban areas, as these have very big expat communities so cater to people who don't speak Japanese. You pay the premium for it, and have to pay extra for everything else (doctors, dentists etc).
Despite living in Japan over seventeen years, I speak minimal Japanese, travel far and wide on my bicycle, and have great experiences.
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers and rarely have been let down.
Just curious a friend of mine
Wants to come to japan but he asked me this exact question.
Anyone knows any good japanese language school?
