Games For Language

http://www.gamesforlanguage.com

 

 

I found this course a while back, but it wasn't really complete when I found it. Now that it is, I want to review it for you. Okay, actually I'm addicted to it.

 

It's super fun.

 

First off, they treat learning languages entirely as a game.

 

 

There are five or six different games that teach you selected vocabulary and phrases. Oh, and these aren't random either. All of the vocabulary being taught is going to be used in a story that you get to read after you are finished with the lesson. There is no rote repetition at all. Just fun games that test you on your listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The collection of games covers all the important bases of language learning.

 

You can also record yourself speaking which is a huge bonus and benefits you. Oh, and this another site that's completely free. You just need to register. So go sign up!

 

 

Hope you enjoy it,

 

Love Destiny

Nulu

Nulu  is a site that is still in development. You read articles while listening to the words being spoken by a native Spanish speaker (or English speaker) with a pleasant voice. You can discuss the articles in the comments and you can review what you have learned.

Pick an article that you like and then click on it. You can hover over any phrase to see its translation.

You can try to read the article on your own while listening to the speaker. If you don't understand a word all you have to do is over the area. It's great practice.

I don't recommend this course for the total beginner who has never learned any Spanish before. It's more for people who have been learning Spanish (or English) for a while and need to practice it and use it. It's good for reading and listening comprehension skills. Go check it out!

Genki!

Genki can help you learn Japanese through fun songs that will stick in your head forever and ever until the end of time.

There are quite a few songs that you can listen to and watch the video for free on this site.

They include Who, What, When, Where?, The Weather, Where From?, Left And Right, and quite a few others. I could list them all but then where would the fun in checking them out for yourself be?

There is also a games section.

Yea!

Because who doesn't love games?

These are the games offered for Genki Japanese. Notice there are quite a few?

The games all have a method of try, fail, and try again until you learn the words naturally. One of the games is called, My...hurts! and the little doll says what hurts in Japanese and you have to guess what he said by clicking on it.

Most of the material is free but the guy who made it also has versions and it is good if you need the extra material or if you want to support him since he has given so much to the community. He does not overcharge for his materials like most language companies do. He doesn't charge hundreds of dollars [like one famous language company we know, won't name names] or even a hundred dollars [like a lot of language companies that call themselves affordable]. He charges $37 for a whole package. And even though, at eight, I would have to ask my mom for that, I think it's a reasonable price to ask for a program as good as this one.

He teaches other languages besides Japanese.

There is Spanish which has seventeen good games including Do You Like...?

First you can practice the words by clicking on them. Then you can play the game. The lady says Te gusta...? and then she adds a word like manzanas and you have to click on the apple or the word she says and when you get it right the doll climbs a ladder and the lady says "Bravo!" or "Muy bien!"

There is also a few other languages listed below including Chinese and Korean. Some of the languages only have games or only have music but every language has something very fun to do. So, go check it out. Sing, dance, and play your way to a new language.

Have fun!
