I had tried to learn some languages using online resources on the net(freely accessible ones tho). Didn’t actually commit to it with a plan.
Curious on how others went about it.

Do mention the resources that you liked/found useful.

    Duolingo was mentioned.

    But one of the good things about AAA games is that they’re often voiced and captioned in multiple languages.

    So, after picking up some basics – give a new player + playthrough of something you’re already familiar with in a new language.

      wait I’m not the only one who tried the video game thing? On my second playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn I decided to swap to my target language just because I thought it would be funny, but it’s actually been a kinda nice experience pausing during dialogue, tabbing over to a browser, and then looking up any words i don’t know

      One caveat to this: make sure it isn’t a game you know inside and out. You’ll go by memory instead of actively trying to interact with the language. At least that’s the way it goes for me.

      Any android/mobile games that you’d recommend?
      PC gaming is rare for me nowadays, that too only Supertuxkart.
