      The blog itself discusses numerous games that can be used to learn language. One example, is a just referring to the Walking Dead PS4 game in which players must survive a zombie apocalypse. Does this help?

      The PS4 Walking Dead game! You can play it in different languages, allowing you to improve your foreign language skills, while also surviving a zombie apocalypse!

        Great question! It certainly depends on the game and the interests of the student, but we find incorporating a variety of input sources the most beneficial. Why not play video games in the target language as well as join a forum? 🙂

      There are a variety of zombie survival games on the market that could be fruitful for language learning. This could be anything from The Last of Us to Left for Dead. In these games players must utilize survival strategies to help their characters make it through dangerous situations and often search for a cure to the zombie apocalypse.
