“Learning by playing, playing by learning” – a wise saying passed down from our ancestors. But how can we apply this to learning Japanese vocabulary, a language notorious for its difficulty? Designing a vocabulary learning game is the answer you’re looking for! Let’s explore the secrets of “learning while having fun” to conquer Japanese together with “Learn How To”!
Similar to learning how to draw chibi on a computer, learning Japanese also requires persistence and creativity. By designing your own game, you not only learn vocabulary proactively but also train your thinking and creative skills.
Benefits of Designing a Japanese Vocabulary Learning Game
Learning vocabulary can sometimes be dry and boring. Games are an effective “magic pill” to help you overcome this obstacle. Like the story of Nguyen Van A (a programmer in Hanoi), who initially struggled with Japanese, but after designing a simple game to learn Kanji, he made remarkable progress. So, what are the benefits of designing games?
- Increase learning motivation: Who doesn’t love playing games? Learning vocabulary through games helps you feel more relaxed and excited, making it easier to absorb knowledge.
- Effective vocabulary memorization: Combining images, sounds, and interaction in games helps you memorize vocabulary naturally and for the long term. Professor Nguyen Thi B, a linguist at Hanoi National University of Education, also emphasized the importance of learning through real-world experience in her book “Effective Japanese Learning Methods.”
- Develop comprehensive skills: Designing games not only helps you learn vocabulary but also trains your logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Steps to Design a Japanese Vocabulary Learning Game
So how do you design an effective Japanese vocabulary learning game? Here are some basic steps you can refer to:
Define Learning Goals
Before you start designing, you need to clearly define your learning goals. Do you want to learn Kanji, vocabulary by topic, or practice grammar? Clearly defining your goals will help you focus and design a more suitable game.
Choose a Suitable Game Type
There are many types of games you can choose from, from jigsaw puzzles and quizzes to role-playing games. Choose a game type that suits your interests and learning goals.
Build Game Content
After choosing a game type, you need to build game content that is engaging and effective. You can use images, sounds, and videos to illustrate vocabulary.
Test and Improve
After completing the game, test and improve it to make it even better. You can ask friends and family to play and give feedback. Maintaining motivation to learn Japanese is equally important; refer to how to stay motivated to learn English for more inspiration.
