    The gameplay is a mix of engaging mechanics that effectively teach language through interactive lessons and vocabulary collection, though it can be challenging for beginners. While the core mechanics are smooth and accessible, some mini-games, particularly those involving numbers and directions, are criticized for being mechanically unpleasant.

    • “Otherwise, the gameplay is smooth and simple and certainly suitable for people who don't play a lot.”
    • “If you're learning a totally new language, this is probably very hard, unless you don't do the chats at all in the beginning, or accept that you don't understand a thing.”
    • “Next are the other minigame lesson mechanics — numbers and directions are both mechanically unpleasant.”
    • “It is still missing some features to have a more polished and non-gamer friendly gameplay, but the potential here is very high!”

    • “I don't understand why the memory game has really intense music designed to throw you off at the end.”
