Game inspire your brain

For German, French, Japanese or whatever you are learning, I would like to introduce the unique way to learn foreign language.

Not only for studying languages but also the other one like mathematics or science always depends on your motivation. And, the motivation naturally comes from the feeling of how much you like it or are interested in.

You can also learn something in the necessity for your life but this way would not be recommended. It is not efficient because your brain honestly would not react to the subject. Mostly, you will forget it soon after it becomes unnecessary.

From this point of view, let me show you Japanese Game. Japanese culture is famous for creating game. Have you ever hard Nintendo or Enix? They are well known Game company in Japan.

Actually in Japan, most of them are used for entertaining purpose, not for educational one. It may be tragedy that people only say the game culture could be harmful for children. It is matter of how you use it. So again, I would say there is a way by using iPhone App.

From the various games, let me show you what is called “Roll Playing Game” from iPhone APP. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would be the most well known and common game for this category. If you have ever played the one and like it, I would definitely recommend you to play it again in the different language you are studying.

From your iPhone APP, set the language with the following procedure.

iPhone HOME > Settings > General > Language & Region > iPhone Language

Now, you can choose your favorite language like German, French or Japanese. Be careful that in some APP, there may not be the language you are studying. Before you install some game from APP store, you can also check what kind of languages are being used at the preview page.

From this game learning, you may need some word list for your study. In that case, please take a look at my iPhone APP, too.

As I am studying several languages, sometimes I find the different between them.

One of the most unique different is between European alphabet and Asian letters. European alphabet exists independently while asian letters could some times combine each other.

For example in Japanese, there is a word of “語” which means “language”. This word is mainly composed of two words: “言” and “吾”. The word of “言” means “say” in Japanese so even if we encounter some difficult word, we can manage to guess the meaning of the word in this way.

How about this in English? I think this method cannot be applied to no only English but also the other European language which composed of alphabets.

That is why I developed the way of drawing study in my iPhone APP. If the Asian language you try to study is new, please consider this kind of difference. Every language would have its unique parts like this.

For Japanese, I hope you to remember that the drawing letter is important so that you can imagine the meaning with its view.
