Translated guides for game tutorials, supplements and articles.
While playing games can be an effective method for learning on its own, the vast wealth of supplementary reading can be just as effective, if not better! Searching for game guides, reviews or discussions can provide you with more vocabulary that relates to the games you are currently playing but with a more instructive or thoughtful narrative. It also rewards you comprehending the text you’re reading by helping you find additional goodies while you play!
Here you can find a number of online articles, that I’ve affectionately called “translation packs”. These can give you a helping hand in your playthroughs or give peripheral reading for games you’re interested in. For each one the main text has been translated block by block and a glossary for each word that appears in order has been provided. Read each block, check if you got the meaning and learn more vocabulary as you go!
