It is especially useful for remembering the spelling of new words, and learning to recognize words in unfamiliar context. HangUomo is a tool for learning and practicing Italian vocabulary. The game comes with a list of over 800 commonly used Italian words, and the ability to add new words, as well as group words by category. The game play is highly configurable, with 3 difficulty settings, and optional hints including the corresponding English word, and type of word (lexical category) in English or Italian. The words can be chosen from the entire vocabulary, or limited to a single category.
