Donostia-San Sebastian.  If you live in an environment where various languages coexist or if you want to get o know Basque or promote it among other whose mother language is not a more common one; or if you are going to travel and you want to have a basic vocabulary of the country you are visiting on hand, or want to compare it to Basque, Spanish or whatever your first language is, the new website www.hizkimizki.com  provides an easy and free tool to do it. 

All you have to do is go to www.hizkimizki.com and choose the two languages that you want to compare and a database will generate a basic dictionary for you in seconds.

The user only has to select the two languages that he/she wants to compare and the database generates the requested dictionary in seconds, which is further formatted and ready to be printed in sheets (size DIN-4), in such a way that they can be folded and carried in your pocket.
