That&#8217;s the goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/iconspeak.world\">Iconspeak<\/a>, a company founded by three Swiss men who found themselves in Vietnam with a broken motorcycle and no way to speak to the locals. Per <a href=\"https:\/\/iconspeak.world\/blogs\/main\/64643525-chapter-1-from-dirt-to-shirt\">their blog<\/a>: &#8220;Many times we were confronted with a language barrier that was only to be overcome by drawing signs, symbols or icons on a piece of paper, map, or into the dirt. We thought it would be great to have an essential set of icons with you, permanently, so that you could just point on whatever you need &#8211; and people would understand.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/04\/10225727\/iconspeak-01.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"437\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35264\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/04\/10225732\/iconspeak-02.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"658\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35256\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/04\/10225738\/iconspeak-03.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35257\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/04\/10225742\/iconspeak-04.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35258\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2016\/04\/10225747\/iconspeak-05.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"468\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35259\"><br \/>\nThis is one of those ideas that&#8217;s so clear in hindsight, that you wonder why it wasn&#8217;t created before. Forget carrying around flash cards or using an app, just point to your T-shirt and let it do the talking.
