How to play
- Read the English word shown at the top of the card.
- The hint tells you which language you’re translating into — Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean or Portuguese.
- Pick the answer you think is correct from the four options.
- Right answers build your streak; a wrong answer resets it but reveals the correct word so you learn it.
- Tap Next Word to keep going. There’s no time limit and no penalty for guessing — play as long as you like.
Why games help you learn
Short, playful repetition is one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary. Instead of memorising long lists, you meet each word in a tiny challenge, make a guess, and get instant feedback — the same loop that makes language apps so addictive. Even a few rounds a day adds up surprisingly quickly.
When you’re ready for real sentences, head back to the free translator to convert text between 100+ languages, brush up on language facts in our Translation Trivia, or get inspired for a trip with our travel guides.
