New Spanish language learning stack I'm trying.

PokeMMO in Spanish (DM if you'd like the ROMS!)

Wisp - which can be used to translate back to your L1 for additional assistance

I just discovered a pretty neat language learning/accessibility feature from Microsoft Copilot (for Edge browser).

Hover your cursor over any YouTube video, and you can translate the audio from to and it works pretty well!

I've worked a lot making Newcomer accessible to English language learners, but I rarely receive feedback from this group

Today, a Spanish-speaking mother and her daughter shared their experience using Newcomer to learn English (I may have shed a tear or two)

Hey ya'll, Newcomer is the cost of a fries on Steam until the Winter sale ends. It's an immersion-focused language learning experience that I've been making for the past 3 years!

Available L1s: En, Es-MX, Fr, It
Available L2s: En, Es-MX, Fr, It, Ger, Pt-BR, Es-Es, Ni, Fil, Tr

Happy holidays!

new way i added of unlocking new language content in my game

basically, every new area you reach, you get a pack of cards that contains expressions you'll use in that village

Recently stumbled upon a bunch of badass educational #StarWars games from the late 90's

This is "Star Wars: Droidworks". You build and control droids (physics) to solve missions. Too bad it's not on Steam 😔

I'm reflecting today on when my parents told me they had been studying Spanish before their trip to Portugal - bless their innocent souls 🥹

I didn't have the heart to tell them....

If you want to start learning Japanese, there's a free demo for Wagotabi, a Japanese learning RPG, on Steam. I played the previous demo, and was very impressed/

I think I might post about random language learning projects I find interesting. Bluesky - What do you guys think? #langtwt

Hello Bluesky!

I'm Jason, an indie dev. and language learner. On my language learning journey, I wanted someone to practice with. This is why I started creating Newcomer, a language learning game where you play, learn, and practice a new language through conversation and adventure!
