Have you ever tried learning a language by playing games in that language?
It seems like the next best thing to real-life interaction since you're forced to understand the language in order to progress, but I'm curious to find out if it really works.

It's how I learned English tbqh pham.

>>343430496
Same here.
I'm a frenchfag, didn't learn shit at school whereas vidya and music helped me a lot.
>>343430705
So RPGs and adventure games are probably the best?
How do you connect the words to their meanings? As an Englishman learning a foreign language seems very difficult to me. We have it too easy.
>>343430496
This. I learned English thanks to Final Fantasy IX, Xenogears and Chrono Cross.
>>343430496
This.
Also movies and TV shows.
>>343430705
>be me
unless it's an interactive edutainment game where you learn a language you aren't going to learn one by playing games in that language. you need to learn the language basics first. being exposed to the language after the fact just makes you better at it, it doesnt make you learn it outright

Ich verstehen. I have the basics of German grammar down but I'm just looking to expand my vocabulary and figure games could help.

>>343431003
>How do you connect the words to their meanings?
English and Spanish has a lots of similar words with the same meaning, i just read the ones i could understand and tried to find the whole meaning of the sentence.
>>343431474
they wont
English for me too, trying to do the same with japanese now
this is largely how I learned English
>>343431532
I don't see why not. If it were an RPG where decision were made via dialogue options, inventory items and quest logs you would be required to understand in order to progress.
>>343430803
Pretty impressive that you learned English that way. Good job.
ye. i played vanquish in german cuz i kinda want to learn a bit. played a few games in spanish too
>>343430496
This.
I mostly watched subbed cartoons back in the day so I gradually picked up the language as time went on.
>>343431727
you would have to understand the words first, not the other way around
>>343430496
Thanks to vidya i can now shitpost anywhere!
>>343431474
>Ich verstehen
"I have the basics down"
>be born in ontario to quebecois mother but english speaking father

Buongiorno, my name is Mario Rossi.
I'm a 27 years old American Italiophile (picciotto for you black gangsters). I eat spaghetti and drink wine for lunch, and spend my days discussing about football with my friends at the bar and playing superior Italian games. (Assetto corsa, Grezzo 2)
I train with my mandolino every day, this superior musical instrument can pierce through steel eardrums because it is used since 2000 BC, and is vastly superior to any other string instrument on earth. I earned my mandolino license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Italian fluently, both Terrone and Polentone dialect, and I write fluently as well, I know everything about Italian history and their pizza code, which I follow 100%
When I get my Italian visa, I am moving to Venezia to attend a prestigious Scuola Superiore to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a Mafioso or a Parlamentare!
I own several fake Versace sunglasses, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Italy, so I can fit in easier. I play cards with my elders and seniors and speak Italian as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Italy!

I've watched a few episodes of a Korean children's cartoon, and I can understand a few words here and there, but the rest of the words may as well be fart noises. Should I keep watching, or should I try something else?
>>343430496
Same here
Also from cartoons
>>343430496
This, vidya and 4chan were my English teachers, I could get all the English language certifications I needed without ever having to study
>>343432116
>I hope I can become a Mafioso or a Parlamentare!
>>343430312
Japanese, yeah.
I import JP games from time to time.

I did learn English mostly by playing that game everyday
also
>tfw it took me 4 years to finish that game mostly because I couldn't into English.
>>343430312
Super Mario RPG was the best English teacher I had when I was 7
>>343430496
italian here
i was the best during english lessons because i learned everything from games
>>343430496
this and from manga
though I did learn some basics from kids TV show with some big blue alien in it, can't remember name of it.
>>343430496
Same here.
When I was 12 I couldn't understand ocarina of time so I gradually learned what the fuck was happening through interactions and answers you could give every now and then, it helps that the writing was really simple, after that I jumped to movies and cartoons and ended up speaking it without realizing it by the time I was 14, It appears I'm quite skilled in general when it comes to understanding languages, or maybe english is just that easy to learn, I dunno, but still I would recommend simply surrounding yourself with the language you want to learn if you can, your mind will adapt to it like any other thing and you will incorporate it in yourself in a couple of years, do be careful not to "taint" your original language by mixing it with words from another, it's the worst kind of habit.
Yes, I take old comfy games and play them in French or German
>>343431003
>How do you connect the words to their meanings?
By looking how the characters react, if they start shooting you there's a good chance you insulted them.
>>343430496
This, though vidya and later on fantasy novels.
>>343430312
What games are in Croatian?
>>343432268
Anyone?
Any good vidya I can play in Korean? The only games in my Steam library with Korean voices are Half-Life 2 and Episode 1.
I tried to learn German playing Nehrim and I failed because I'm a lazy retard.
>>343434814
>>343430312
yes english etc
but you what, im fuckin bored enough
imma try this with some other language right now
>>343431892
This tbqh.
>>343430496
I've learned English in school but games have
helped to expand my vocabulary..
It's okay for me to write in English, but I don't
like to talk English.
IBecause I can't pronounce ''th''.
>>343436161
Touch the tip of your tongue to the bottom of your front teeth, and blow. It's easy.
>>343436161
i bet ur german
>>343430496
i rely learmned englich biy plaing games amd iam me relly prod of plein theze games
That was how I learned English: started with original versions of games because pirate translations in my country sucked balls and there was no licensed market, continued with web videos, then started watching movies and reading books, and now I'd say I'm rather proficient at it, certainly enough to discuss stuff on weeaboo imageboards.
>>343430496
This and the same thing for Japanese,pic related one of the games i used for learning.
>>343432116
Terribile copiapasta
>>343436616
My teacher used to tell me the same thing.
But that makes me talk slow and sounds like
I'm retarded.
Practice is probably the only thing that vwill help.

This
Learned the basic understanding from movies, music and vidya.
Became fluent by speaking to people online.
Now I've pretty much lost my accent completely.
It's always fun hearing native speakers refusing to believe I am norwegian because I normally speak english with a british accent.
>>343430496
Same here. Now im trying to learn a bit Polish since poles are everywhere im wow private servers.
>Szukam tanka healka 2 dps na daily hero
I got a german version of XCOM Apocalypse and made a half assed attempt. Didn't really take.
>>343430496
this.
When playing vidya in another language, should I use subtitles from that language, or English subtitles?
>>343431474
>he didn't even conjugate ich verstehe
>>343432116
Someone do the Russian one
I learned English by playing vidya. I also played games as much as possible in Spanish during HS to increase my grade, which I did.
>>343440383
I'd say none. When there are subtitles, especially translated, you tend to rely on them too much. Without subtitles you'll have no choice but on your ability to understand spoken language, making you more proficient at it. It's a sink or swim approach and that's the best method of teaching anything that doesn't lead to immediate death on failure.
I learned basic russian so I could tell people shit in cs go
>>343435096
Vietnam is behind by a hundred years in slaughterhouse techniques? Who would have guessed.
>>343441086

Good times, good times.
>>343442564
