Now, hear me out. I am fully aware that this game is intended to be a bit of a gag. Can I convince you guys that it’s worth it?

Why I learnt to spin a basketball on my finger
The title of this entry is a tad absurd. I’ve been writing about all things language and development for years now. I’ve taught and discussed my methods countless times and yet if people were to guess a basketball likely wouldn’t come into it
Elden Ring
It goes without saying that I think this game is wonderful when it comes to learning. The vastness of Elden Ring allows for a variety of playstyles and learning methods.
Dealing with loss of language progress
Creeping doubts start to sink in as you dread how much you may need to relearn, all whilst still maintaining new vocabulary and grammar in tandem.
Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans is fantastic for language learning for a number of reasons. Between the humour, styles of language, volume of text and overall aesthetic you can’t go far wrong.
Proving the process: Games and Kanji goes Spanish!
Most of my time spent outside of work is spent playing games in Japanese. Let’s give Spanish a run for its money.
Is revision necessary when learning languages?
My methods have never been 100% orthodox and sometimes they’ve just been downright weird, so where does typically academic studying and revision play a part in all of this?
Peak
I think I may be a little too into this but since Peak’s release I’ve played it almost every day. The repeatable charm and usage of language makes it remarkably inviting.
Interview with Nam
I’ve known Nam for some time now. We never spent much time learning languages in our youth but when we found we were both learning Japanese it sparked a long, language based partnership.
Gotcha Force
Imagine if you will, Pokémon meets Gundam, pulled entirely out of a kid’s toy box. I go back to revisit another childhood classic.
