Translation Memory: A Game for Language Learning

This is my self-made tool for learning foreign languages rapidly and for rapid memorization.

About the Game

• The game is very simple, and is based on the classic game of Memory.
• The game allows you to upload a CSV file containing text in 2 languages, or you can select one of the presets already bundled in the app
• You will then be shown the foreign language text and prompted to provide the translated text
• If you get the translation wrong, the phrase will be shuffled back into the deck and the next phrase will be displayed
• If you get it right, the phrase will be discarded.
• The random shuffling of the words/phrases promotes long-term memory so you don't forget.

Usage

• This game is useful for expanding your vocabulary in a foreign language
• It also can be used to learn the writing system of foreign languages
• The game supports keyboard input, but it also allows you to bypass the keyboard input so that you can practice writing by hand on paper
• A good game would consist of 15-20 words/phrases. If you play for 3 rounds, you will usually have all the words memorized.
