Noun Town Language Learning

Noun Town Language Learning teaches vocabulary and conversation through mini-games, interactive lessons and conversations with characters. You learn more than 1,000 words and phrases across 13 languages: English, Japanese, German, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish (MX), Spanish (ES), French, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek and Egyptian Arabic. As you progress, you bring color back to Noun Town island and help free its citizens.

Vocabulary and practice

Learn common words and phrases, including nouns, adjectives, numbers, colors, days of the week and directions. The island has 11 areas, such as a café, beach, farm, food store and zoo, where you encounter vocabulary related to each place. You can also explore between areas to discover new words.

An automated spaced repetition system schedules regular vocabulary practice, and the Learning Rush revision game challenges you to beat your high score by serving customers who request items in the language you are learning. Other activities include a job simulator, a numbers factory line, a weather station game, puzzles and mini-games where you hit robots to practice numbers, plant flowers to learn colors, or drive a delivery bot to learn directions and locations.

Conversations and characters

Use speech recognition to practice pronunciation with 16 characters. In VR chat, you can ask non-player characters questions aloud and hear replies in a range of native-speaker voices. Roleplay lessons written by native teachers prepare you for everyday conversations, such as ordering coffee or asking about food in a store.

You can build relationships with the characters by interacting with them. They become friendlier over time, and you practice both formal and casual conversation as those relationships develop. The cast includes Pishi the cat, Bob, described as the most boring person in the world, Yaya, a kind old lady, and 13 other characters, each with a distinct personality. Streak and Daily Goal systems help you keep up with your learning.
