Basically a way of learning languages by playing games, sounds good to me!

For someone hoping to improve their english something like The Sims or Club Penguin which i have linked below are great examples.

All of the instructions are in English so you have no option but to practice! Its quite like changing twitter or netflix to the language of your choice!

What do you get for studying with a book? oh my god yay you get to move to the next page wow go you fantastic. However with most DGBLL there is some form of reward, for example duolingo ; you get a certain amount of points in one level and thy play happy music and give you coins and move you up a level and yes, I am that easily satisfied and anyone who says moving to a new page on a boring book is as exciting as a little bird telling you that you're great is lying. I once completed 4 grammar sections just to get enough coins for the cheesy pickup line section, Very worth it. Would recommend.]]> 2018-12-10 13:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/17234719/vsw1elslu4jt/wish/312899736 17234719 https://padlet.com/17234719/vsw1elslu4jt/wish/312905982 "Digital games posess goals that players are required to achieve, which gives the players motivation to spend time using them"
