United States of America is “États-Unis d’Amérique” in french, or simply “États-Unis”. It’s confusing to english folks because it yields “EU” when abbreviated, which stands for “European Union” in english.

Is that better or worse than having your pants full of birds?

For the trip back, it’s les États-Unis.

And in case you really need it:

For the Spanish phrase practice, may I suggest a book? Those are certain to work almost anywhere, except in total darkness.

As far as which book, I found the Berlitz Essential Japanese a very good book, although it doesn’t teach even the basic hiragana. I checked out the Spanish book in the series and found it very good as well, and I’m a little better able to judge the Spanish one. This is not a phrase book. but a good introduction to Spanish. Different cover, but I believe this is the same as the version I bought for my mom:
