WonderLang Polyglot

WonderLang Polyglot is an RPG that combines language learning with quests, conversations, puzzles and combat. You follow a young hero who must learn a target language to lift a magical curse from their brother. You explore towns, uncover secrets and build friendships with more than 60 unique NPCs, using the language you are learning as you play.

Language campaigns

The package includes WonderLang’s current campaigns in French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and English, with a choice of American or British English. Spanish is available as European Spanish or Latin American Spanish, with tailored texts and matching voice accents for each variety. Portuguese offers European and Brazilian variants, also with tailored texts and corresponding voice recordings.

Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic, Fusha) and Russian are available through free DLC. Each has a dedicated module for learning its alphabet: Arabic script for Arabic and Cyrillic for Russian. Eastern Armenian, Swedish and Thai are planned as free DLC. You can switch target languages freely, revisit the same world through different languages, or study several in parallel.

You can learn a target language from English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Indonesian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian or Arabic. Each language campaign offers more than 45 hours of combined learning and gameplay.

Learning through play

WonderLang is designed for beginners and lower-intermediate learners, so you can start a campaign without prior knowledge of its target language. Multiple difficulty modes accommodate very beginners and early-level learners, including A1–A2 modes for European languages and dedicated modes for Korean, Japanese and Chinese. The game offers a gradual way to practise, but is not intended to replace traditional language courses.

You practise practical language skills by forming sentences, understanding dialogues and choosing expressions to solve puzzles and complete quests. Conversations, quests and puzzles introduce useful vocabulary and grammar, while everyday scenarios include buying groceries, ordering food, asking for directions and making appointments. Dictionary and contextual-help tools support learning during play, and speech-recognition challenges for pronunciation and sentence building are available where supported.

Combat also tests your language skills: correct answers power up attacks and abilities. Encounters use spaced repetition to reinforce vocabulary and grammar. You can adjust difficulty in each campaign, set daily goals and earn rewards for meeting them. Mini-games include crosswords, memory games and charades.

Reading and writing tools

The Korean campaign has modes for very beginners and TOPIK I learners, plus an optional Hangul module. A graphical Korean keyboard supports phonetic typing and direct Hangul mapping.

For Japanese, difficulty options cover very beginners, JLPT N5 and JLPT N4. You can use a skippable hiragana and katakana module, type with a graphical Japanese keyboard using phonetic or direct character input, and choose kana-only text, the top 110 kanji with the rest in kana, or full kanji. Furigana can show kanji pronunciations, and on-screen drawing practice helps you learn to write characters.

The Chinese campaign begins with a pinyin module that teaches pronunciation and tones step by step; you can follow it at your own pace or skip it. Input options include typing with pinyin or selecting characters directly. Text can use pinyin only, the top 110 hanzi with the rest in pinyin, or full hanzi, with optional ruby pinyin to show pronunciations. On-screen drawing practice is also available.
