Language Learning Games You Play By Speaking
Vocabulary practice that will not let you off with pointing at the right answer. These games ask you to produce the word aloud, which is the skill that matters when you are actually talking to someone.

Production beats recognition
Recognising a word on a list is a much easier task than retrieving it from memory and saying it. Flashcard apps mostly train the first. Because nothing here advances until you speak, you are training the second, which is the harder and more useful half.
Picture prompts avoid translating in your head
Guess the Picture shows you an image and waits for you to name it. Naming a picture directly, without an English word in the middle, is closer to how fluent speech works than translating word by word.
Then push into sentences
Word Link, Riddle Challenge and Quiz Games move you from single words to phrases and reasoning out loud. Memory Match adds a recall load on top, so you are holding vocabulary in mind while producing it.
Common questions
Which languages are supported?
The games are built in English, so they suit people learning or practising English. Recognition uses your browser's speech engine, which is generally tolerant of non-native accents.
Is this enough on its own to learn a language?
No. There is no grammar instruction and no structured curriculum here. It is speaking and vocabulary practice that fits alongside a course or a tutor, and it is more fun than a flashcard deck.
