No fees, No Google ads – Just Free Games for Language Learning

With no subscription fees and Google ads, we are just focusing on more language games for the coming year.

Plus, we're not up-selling any paid versions, or other products and services. (Some of the listed Partners provide us some minimal referral income with discounts for our learners.)

Yes, we are not in it for the money, but we enjoy making the games. And, we like seeing many more learners, including students in schools playing our courses and individual games.

While our courses may be a little too difficult for outright beginners, they seem to be popular with those that already have some basic knowledge.

These learners also enjoy the travel story dialogues, which provide a context for the vocabulary of the various games. Plus, having the context helps memorization.

It's also interesting to see which games, courses and blog posts have been most popular with our learners and readers over the months and years.

Also interesting, how preferences constantly shift over time as new posts and games appear.

The all-time favorite blog post for Spanish learners since it was published in June 2013 is La Paloma Lyrics - Learning Spanish with a Song.

The original Spanish lyrics were written by the Basque/Spanish composer Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) after he visited Cuba in 1861.
Many versions of the melody and translations of the lyrics exist.

Recently, the post Quick Italian: magari and mica has been the favorite of our Italian learners.
In Italian conversations you'll often hear "magari" and "mica".
To understand their meaning, you have to also understand the context in which they are used.

French learners have a preference for the Quick French Language Game “Days of the Week”.

Except, maybe, for "Saturday", the French days don't much resemble the English days. So, hearing and imitating the sounds, help with building your French pronunciation.
Also, our games make memorization more fun.

During the last month Spanish players preferred the Quick Spanish Language Game Estar – Present Tense by a wide margin.
Maybe the sleeping man's image also helps to remember  one of the 3 basic uses of "estar".

German learners are currently playing the Ich möchte game more than any other game.
"Ich möchte ..." is how you politely ask for something in German.  This phrase is used all the time in conversational German.
Its conjugation, with its different endings, is not easy to learn.

(For our Dutch, and English for Spanish learners, there are not enough learners yet to draw any conclusions.)
