Phrasebooks teach you what to say, but never what comes back. Hundred Words teaches the 100 words you need for a trip inside the real conversations you will have: the 7-Eleven cashier asking if you want a bag, the Grab driver in Da Nang, the petrol station attendant in Taiwan. Each scene shows what you hear and what to say back, with audio. Mandarin for China and Taiwan, Taiwanese Hokkien, Vietnamese, Japanese and Thai. Free, no account needed.

Could you build this?
Partial The app shell, audio playback, and scene navigation are easy to vibe-code, but the value depends on curated, native-validated real-world conversation scripts that a builder would have to research and produce.
What it would actually take: The stack is a mobile or web app with per-scene content, audio, and progress tracking, which is straightforward to generate. The hard part is authoring accurate, natural dialogue for each location and language, including realistic cashier and driver responses, and validating it with native speakers. That requires linguists or native-speaker reviewers and a content pipeline, not just code.
