Unlock a new language as you crush, smash, combo, switch, and match candies and other sweet treats! Use your super special combo sweets to blast your way to new levels as you take a new kind of sweet puzzle adventure: learning! The more points you win the more words you unlock and learn! With more than a hundred levels, an in-app dictionary, and no-pressure reviews, you'll be learning a new language in no time! Inspired by the Candy Crush Saga series, a now mythic puzzle game loved by millions of players around the world. The current version of Word Crush - Languages teaches you some of the most important Cherokee prefixes necessary for speaking the language. Learning a new language doesn't have to be a chore, it can be fun and effective. This is why with Word Crush - Languages you focus on the minimum number of words or word parts that you need to learn to start making thousands of words in a new language! For the Cherokee game, the numbers that look like exponents indicate short and long syllables, so 11 is a long level 1 tone, 2 is a short level 2 tone etc. Remember that you can check your dictionary at any time to review the words you have learned, including when you must ace a little quiz! Word Crush - Languages is a new language learning game created by Harvard University researcher and founder of Seeing Hope inc.---a nonprofit organization that leverages technology to address indigenous language loss worldwide. Very special thanks, acknowledgement and credit is due to Professor J.W. Webster, who is a Cherokee Master Speaker and one of the most gifted linguistic and cultural thinkers of his generation. He is an expert in language revitalization and the reconstruction of dormant cultural systems. He provided us with the prefix charts which inform the Cherokee vocabulary that you will see in the game. Any errors that may persist are ours, not his! May indigenous languages, cultures, and the peoples who make them flourish now and always. Happy learning!
