If you're the parent/guardian of a child between the ages of 2 and 7 (or know any family friends who might be), the lab I'm working at is looking for participants! The NYU Child Language Lab currently has some in-person and remote studies for the above age group where your kids play a small game to help us learn more about how they acquire language. If you're in the NYC area or would want to take part in a remote study, we'd love to have you stop by 😀 More info here: wp.nyu.edu/childlanguagelab/participate/

Watching this in the background as I work on my Japanese dictionary of words I've learned in Google Sheets lol (honestly, I have a habit of working on my spreadsheets for Japanese more than actually learning it... I find spreadsheets fun, but it's definitely a personal problem lol)

Spreadsheets... I respect that, haha. I spend a lot of time on systems too, but at the end of the day getting around to doing it is the way to go 😔 Thanks for dropping a comment on this vid!

Honestly duolingo is what sparked my interest in language learning, and even if it isn't "optimal" I reckon these apps great for vocab and such.

Definitely! If it wasn't for Duolingo 6 years ago, I probably wouldn't have taken up an interest with learning French outside of school (and thus might not have even looked into linguistic classes). As I mentioned in the vid, and made another whole vid about if you're curious, I think the best thing about 'em is vocab! It's a fantastic place to start and they're great tools, we just want to make sure we gauge how 'seriously' we're looking to learn things. Thank you for dropping by the video, keep up the learning! :D

Is there a literal GAME for language learning. I was thinking of an immersive game where the goals are to progress through interactions with in game characters who, perhaps, know less and less of one’s primary language which forces one to learn the target language…. Etc., etc.

I gave that some thought a few months ago when brainstorming small game ideas. The best I sort of came up with was show someone "new in town" (or along those lines) around or going through an adventure where you had to translate concepts. inFluent is a game that might be worth looking into, and I know there are other small ones out there, but lately I've just been playing games totally in a language and I feel like- if you're reading about things externally and using an app for vocab- just immersing yourself in a game like that can help you learn 'faster'? Not sure, but it's a fascinating thought- especially when you try and think of how to make a game geared for the 13+ crowd. Thanks for stopping by the video and for the support as always, Jim!

@@markbacon78 I was looking on the app store for some fun ways to learn Japanese and found out about a game called *Infinite Japanese*! It's a fluent thinking game where you have to tap on meteors to fill in the blank and associate words with pictures and their spelling/pronunciation! In the settings, you can even change which writing system you want the game to make you read in whether that be romaji, kana, or kanji. They also motivate you to stack up enough XP to unlock new categories to learn like foods or animals! I wish they had more than the only one game mode being tapping on meteors to associate words with pictures but nonetheless, it is very helpful ALSOOOO they don't just have Japanese they also have the game format to learn other languages like Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, and English!
