Influent Language Learning

Review for the Japanese version: If you already know the Japanese alphabet, this is a fantastic app to use when trying to learn the basics of items you see and use everyday in your home. I removed a star because the latter challenge (reversal challenges) are trying to test the user on words that are not in their vocab list. It is quite confusing and results in a failing score, I’m not sure why it keeps trying to give me words I have yet to study but it ruins the last bit of the challenges.

The amount of time that the creator put into this is actually amazing! I’m learning Korean, and my biggest issue is immersion and putting vocab words to use. This helps so so so much. I really like the testing feature where you have to go find the items to master the word. I’ve been looking for an app that does exactly this. Immersion is super hard when you aren’t in an area where you have easy access to the language. This puts you in the position of forcing yourself to learn through looking at the objects. I think because it’s set in a house, and you’re surrounded by everyday objects, you have the ability to think about/redirect your attention to what’s physically around you IRL and use the new vocab. I literally just started but, I really reccomend this to any beginners to the language— I’m super excited to see more progression in the game. Rob you killed this, thank you!

I am stuck in a state where I am supposed to pretend my character is doing some sort of Twitch-like streaming of going around the house and clicking on objects (I guess, that’s just what I’m getting from the bee character’s dialogue when I open the game). Once the 15 minute timer is up, nothing happens. No idea how to get to the minigames, and I teach UI at a university… Discord server invite link in the game is expired. So, I think this app has a lot of potential. I am just not sure how to get to it, and it would be great if additional environments were added. I’d be willing to pay .99 per environment per language, and there are a few languages getting studied in my home.
