Check out these eight tuneful resources for pitch-perfect language learning!
Linguician
Love music? Love games? Okay, let’s be real—who doesn’t? But if you want to infuse your language learning with music and games, Linguician is a sure bet.
Linguician suggests songs for you, then enables you to learn from the songs using games and activities. For instance, you can use “discover mode” to learn the lyrics and their meanings. Then, you can use “quiz mode” to check how well you’ve actually learned those words. Finally, check out “play mode” for a more gamified variation on learning.
Plus, to further motivate you, answering correctly gives you “LangoCoins,” which you can use to access more songs!
Linguician is available online or as an Android app.
Available Languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Action Race: This is a fun game using actions. Use actions like jump, hop, clap, run etc. Have the Ss split into two teams and sit in lines with a chair by each team and one chair at the other end of the room. One S from each team stands next to their chair and T calls an action, e.g. "Jump". Ss must jump to the chair on the other side of the room and back, sitting down in their chair Ss say "I can jump". First one to do it gets their team a point. (Submitted by Gareth Thomas).
