Romanica

Principal function(s): Game apps

Romanica is a game app produced by the French Ministry of Culture. It transports players into different worlds where they need to recognize the meaning of words and the language they belong to. The words are all from Romanesque languages (French, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Occitan, and Corsican). More words are gradually unlocked as one works their way up in the game. While progressing through the game, cultural information is unlocked and badges are awarded. Evaluation: A creative way for learners to practice and learn new vocabulary in the Romanesque languages. It can be a little difficult without prior knowledge of these languages, but it is still manageable.

Cost: Free with app downloading
