Introduction

Learning languages can be tough, and this article aims to help you propel yourself to the next level while making it fun to do so.

I will start the article with what you need and how the method works and further down in the article, I will go into more detail on how to choose the right game.

Acknowledgments

  • In my example, I have used this method to learn Japanese, but I believe that this method can be applied to any language as long as there exist games in that language.
  • The method I will outline in this article is centered on learning by reading, and therefore selecting a game with lots of text will help you make the most of this article, but subtitles for spoken language also count to that end.

What Do I Need?

  • 📱A smartphone.
  • 📲An app that can read text from videos or images (included in the default photo app for most smartphones).
  • 🎴A game for your smartphone in the language you want to learn (a computer game💻 or console game🎮 will work too, but you still need a smartphone).
  • 🤖A ChatGPT Account (the free version works too).
