how video games teach you languages

 

in the concept of learning a new language there are different ways and methods either in schools, with private tutors, moving to an English-speaking country and learning alone or playing video games, for some people some of these processes can be tedious or even annoying and in this blog we will talk about the latter, we humans use logic and perception of what is happening around us to understand what is happening in the case of video games is no exception

In various cases the vast majority of people like video games of various genres, depending on their place of origin (where the franchise was created) this determined their language, for example, there is one of the largest video game companies which is "Nintendo" this being a foreign company from Japan their games came in these languages by determination (now you can configure them) and in order to understand the story or what was happening we had to use logic and let our imagination fly.

Returning to the subject since there are games that have another language that is the one that you are familiar with, but you like that game (surely you repeated the dialogues to understand it better), you used to get to the point of knowing it by heart. "Children learn to speak from experience and repeat what they are hearing. That is why a language begins to sound natural to them, although their mouths are still very immature: because they decide to repeat until they manage to communicate satisfactorily."( Sergio Trujillo-gamerfocus ).

Just like today there are different communities of people who play these games "Gamers" of different languages which in any game you can find some and so they can learn each other’s languages.
