Deuxlangue: Learn French - Choices Adventure Game
Deuxlangue is a choice-driven text adventure game that teaches you French vocabulary naturally as you play.

BACKGROUND
============
Made as an experimental supplement to traditional language learning apps like Duolingo and Memrise, this game teaches vocabulary through story and context instead of endless drills and repetition.
You get to make some decisions, you get to learn some French vocabulary, I get a tiny bit of money, everybody wins.
With multiple narrative paths and hundreds of French words to learn, Deuxlangue is sure to be the hippest, hoppest most happening game on this particular app store listing page.
"Too often do games that focus on learning borrow only the shallow competitive and social elements from traditional video games. This game strives towards the noble goal of alternative gamification: using an involving narrative and player agency as incentive to discover its educational content." - One of the reviews I will surely receive, 2019.
*Winner of the 'United Kingdom's Best Story in a French Learning Text Adventure Game for Android 2019' award - which to be fair, if it existed, this game would probably be the only nominee and therefore might stand a reasonable chance at snagging first place.

Surprisingly actually really good and a very different way to learn some vocabulary that's pretty fun at times. Well worth the money for something different to Duolingo for a change. Little slow sometimes just after making a decision but the story kept me going through, enough to learn a few hundred words. I've done a fair bit of French already but would be great for beginners too.😀🇫🇷
Really fun. I already knew a few of the words but did learn a bunch of new ones. I'd honestly love to learn vocabulary this way more often. There were a few bugs - french words not offering translations, english word "son" offering translation (that one was honestly just funny though) but overall very well made.
this was a really fun game to play through which showed words in real situations. There is a lot of potential for this in regard to including grammar, having more difficult tests, and having more French words included. Thoroughly enjoyable though. Merci !
Great app, has helped me learn some french words and I enjoyed the different choices you can make in the story. Very innovative and fun way to learn languages, please add more stories!
This is a really entertaining way to learn. I'd love to see more stories!
such a shame there is no audio. otherwise would have been great
Good little story to pass the times whilst on holiday in France
Do not have pronounce. Words are ok but you cannot learn without pronounced
I really adore this app. Thank you developer 😍
I love this idea! Bit of a slow start - but once you get through the prologue (5 minutes) then the choices start to matter. Learned about 30 words so far and not been playing very long. Story seems interesting and quite funny, trying to savour it so I can learn gradually. Subtracting a star because feels a bit laggy in some spots but doesn't really matter with a text adventure.
