People rarely speak about it, and I find it is really weird. So, as your big games sis, I’m gonna share a great tip for my fella ganers.
If you study European language, check (on Steam, for ex.) if your games there supports voice overs in this language.
For example, there’s this game series, Risen, and I love it a lot. Like, “I know this shit by heart and still play it when I am sad” lvl of love. It was created by German devs, so it has really great German voice overs. So, when I chill and play it, I unintentionally pick up patterns in language, vocab and stuff - even though I am not actively studying, my brain doing some passive learning, while not making me super duper tired.
So, if you are a gamer, and have a library of games, that supports the language you study - try this out. Or try out some games, that do support this system.
Active study is great, but don’t underestimate the power of chill input!
