The Language Game

I immediately regret buying this game, the main reason is that there are better free options available. You could do Duolingo, FOR FREE, and have the same amount of words and vocabulary. Also, it does not assess what level you are from the get go so if you have any sort of experience you have to start as if you know nothing. It's pointless, don't buy it.

I tried out the French a bit, and compared it to the free Duolingo program on the web, and I like both programs for different reasons . What I like about The Language Game is that you can switch between languages quickly, and cross refence your data, and it also appears that you don't always have to be online to use it . Go ahead and blow 5 bucks if you want to spruce up your bardic tongue . Polish, Hindi, and Japanese would be nice options to add later - I'm hoping to see more downloadable content in the future .

It is clear from the begining that this is a program aimed at teaching people who know little to nothing about the language that they chose. It is a great program if you want to start learning either Spanish, Italian, German, French, or English. Just keep in mind that it wont teach you an entire language. It does not teach you how to write or rules of grammar, just how to speak a few basic things. Never the less, it is a good way to start learning a language. Of course, a language class will always be better than this, but this may be what motivates you to take those classes. For $5.00, its not too bad.

As someone who's tried many different language programs, ranging from paid (Rosetta Stone, Babble), to free (Duolingo, Memrise), I feel comfortable saying that this app would be of some help to beginners, but would not be useful as their sole tool to learn. This app would however make an excellent supplement to a language learning routine, and the competitive features are great for anyone who's learning with a friend. This app makes practice easy and painless, unlike many flashcard apps you can find online, and for such purposes I can easily justify the $5 price tag. Aside from merely using it as a practice tool though, any absolute beginner could use this app to get an introduction to a language. All in all, for the price, I'd certainly recommend this app to anyone who's just getting started in one of the included languages, or who is looking for a more enjoyable way to practice what they already know, however if you're expecting a full featured language course that'll get you fluent,...

Fun, simple, effective game. Playing with my six year old kid ahead of a trip to Disneyland Paris and he loves it... honestly, seeing him enjoying learning like this is just a beautiful thing :) The language content is great and it gives good feedback. The UI is bit clunky because of the mobile origin but it's a minor setback, and it was a pretty cheap buy so yeah, overall I'm well pleased :)

I think this game is great way to start learning a new language. You can also use the Duolingo or Memrise, which is free and has more content than "The Language Game". You can also try to use the game "Influent", which is also available on steam store.

The Language Game is a very badly made "educational" language word quiz game that looks more like a browser app/webpage or a mobile app than a serious PC game. You choose your language then the language you want to learn, and then you're prompted with a series of quiz questions that may or may not guide you to learn some words and phrases from the target language. Starting off, this is very bad even at achieving what it sets out to do. There's only a tiny vocabulary in the quiz game so you'll get questions repeating even in the first quiz you do. It's almost a joke. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features mostly static, ba...

Waste of time, space, money and effort. Avoid even if offered for free.

Cool idea, but i realy need russian, because i learn english and know russian.

I think the way this game works is that it assumes you know not a single word of the language you want to lear and then you have to complete all sections of level one before you move on. This is a bit extreme, so I can only recommend this to a complete beginner and when it is really cheap. So far, to me it has been a waste of money.
