Mind Your Language: Learn German

A collaboration between the Berlitz Language Academy, publishers of hundreds of book and guides, and Spanish video game publisher V.2 PLAY, the Mind Your Language series of educational software thankfully takes the drudgery and chore-like elements away from learning a new lingo. V2 PLAY promises to make the study of a new language fun, and delivers a 'game' targeted at a young audience, without completely excluding other generations.

Budding students are invited to progress through four different levels of difficulty, each of which will become more challenging as their language skills improve. A variety of mini-games and a library where players can look up words and search for popular phrases in each language come as additional features.

'Das ist gut', as they say!
