Newcomer is a fantasy video game where players are immersed in the second language they want to learn. 100+ characters to communicate with, eight language learning mechanics, and RPG features make second language acquisition an adventure. Designed for beginner - intermediate learners, players progress and learn a second language at their own pace. 

Thought langblr might be interested in this. Current languages are French, Italian, English, and Spanish, with Japanese as a stretch goal!

A big thank you to all of the native speakers out there who take the time to read and correct posts. Without you the langblr community wouldn’t be the same! We learn from mistakes, so keep correcting :)
