There is such a practice when a foreign language is learned by watching movies and TV series, reading books, and even playing video games. Most modern games are released with different voiceovers. The translation is done by native speakers, so it reflects as many of the features of the language as possible. Therefore, video games can become a source of helpful information if you are studying a foreign language.
Where to start?
Various genres allow you to choose a game to suit your goals and objectives. You can start with mobile apps to see if this is the right way for you. A great option would be Scrabble. This mini dictionary is available in English, French, Spanish, and other languages. It will help you learn the meaning of various obscure words you will encounter while playing the games.
For beginners, it is best to start with more straightforward options, such as Minecraft, puzzles, arcades, etc. Gradually, you can increase the complexity level, moving on to larger games like those in the Rock and Roll genre. Additionally, it is recommended that you watch movies in a foreign language, read books, and even communicate with native speakers.
Fans of gambling entertainment are also not left behind. Almost all gambling games are translated into foreign languages. Translation and localization include gameplay, rules, functionality, and other parameters, so the gambler has many opportunities to learn the language.
One of the most frequently translated gambling games is Plinko. It is available in several languages, has exciting gameplay, and has simple rules. There are even gambling-related informational websites devoted to Plinko, but the most popular one is http://plinkogames.in/. Here, you can find an online casino where you can play Plinko for real money.
What are the benefits of this format of language learning?
First of all, you are passionate about what you are doing. You are playing your favorite video game while learning new words. When you play through, you can expand your vocabulary by several hundred new words in a month. You also learn to form sentences correctly, spell compound words, etc. You need to emphasize everything. The following is why video games are so popular when learning languages:
- Interactive format.
- You play games while learning a language.
- Video games have a lot of specific words and phrases that you won’t learn in traditional lessons.
To sum up, you get a unique chance to increase your language level while playing games. If there are problems with translation, you should always have a dictionary at hand.
