Learn Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, or Thai, all inside a real online video game. Langlandia is the first language learning app built like an actual video game with online play. Instead of wasting time on an addictive game, learn a language with one. For all ages, from complete beginners to advanced learners. TRAP YOUR FIRST BEAST To survive Langlandia and advance in the institution, you need a strong beast at your side. Will it be a ferocious polar bear? A noble lion? A tiger, wolf, or giant snake? Or will you get lucky and trap a mythical beast, like a yeti or even a dragon? You'll raise your baby beast and grow together: it becomes more powerful while you become fluent. You're a team, and you'll need each other to find your way home from this mysterious island. TALK TO YOUR BEAST (NEW) Have real conversations with your beast in the language you're learning. Practice speaking without fear of embarrassment. Your beast always listens, answers, and helps you improve. SPEAK FROM DAY ONE Langlandia doesn't just play audio. It listens to YOU. Speak into the mic, get instant feedback on your pronunciation, and take speaking exams as you progress. If your goal is to actually talk, not just tap answers, this is the game for you. BATTLE PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD Face friends and other learners in 1v1 arena battles to prove who's mastering the language fastest. Battle live with your voice against real people. Then go further: tournaments, weekly competitions, challenges, online boss battles, and exam competitions. Compete for prizes and stay motivated every day. CLANS, CLASS WARS & COMMUNITY Join a clan and fight alongside other learners. Every word in the game has notes and comments from thousands of fellow students. See their memory tricks and add your own. Teachers: enroll your classes in Class Wars and let them battle rival classes all season. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • The most common words: the highest-frequency vocabulary, so you pick up the language as fast as possible • Numbers: count all the way to 100 million • Verbs: conjugate past, present, and future tenses, the backbone of the grammar • Sentences: the building blocks that let you construct anything you want to say • Grammar: rules explained and practiced until they stick • Everything you need to start actually speaking STUDY TOOLS THAT STICK Flashcards with native audio let you learn words before battle, and every word is spoken aloud again and again as you play, so pronunciation and listening skills sink in without you even trying. All set to an original soundtrack. READING PRACTICE 20+ books, half set in the world of Langlandia. Don't know a word? Tap it for an instant translation. Then head to town, answer questions about what you read, and earn potions and points for your beast. A REAL GAME, A REAL JOURNEY Graduate through the grades of the institution by defeating its teachers, unlocking new words, sentences, and books as you go. Collect spirits, open chests, earn gems, and unlock rare titles along the way. Thousands of hours of gameplay, and every bit of vocabulary can be unlocked free, just by playing. FOR EVERY LEVEL Already advanced? Hard mode's lightning-fast battles train you to understand at native speed, because real people won't slow down for you. Just starting? Easy and Normal modes meet you exactly where you are. PLAY OFFLINE Play as much as you want without a connection. Your progress saves automatically. Tired of language apps that feel like homework? Trap your beast, start your adventure, and download Langlandia now. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://opnations.wixsite.com/langlandia/privacy-policy Terms & Conditions: https://opnations.wixsite.com/langlandia/terms-and-conditions Support: langlandiagame@gmail.com

Influent is a Language Learning Game focusing primarily on vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation. It was initially developed in Japan at the University of Tsukuba's Entertainment Computing Laboratory under the Monbukagakusho Government Research Scholarship. Inspired by Dreamcast titles of old (namely Shenmue and Toy Commander) Influent immerses players in a fully interactive 3D environment where the names for absolutely every object in the game can be gleaned with a single tap! In fact, even more information can be learned with a double-tap! Every door, drawer, and cabinet can be opened with a tap-and-hold, revealing more things to be learned! Packed to the brim with hundreds of native audio pronunciations (painstakingly recorded specifically for this game), Influent offers players of all ages a unique opportunity to enjoy learning both vocabulary and pronunciation in the language of their choice.
