Game as means of acquisition of foreign language

a startup idea shared by Grigory Barsegyan on 04/05/2012

Online game as means of acquisition of foreign language(s) like one's mother tongue: The concept is an Internet portal that recreates the natural atmosphere of speech. The portal involves users through the creation of an immersive gaming environment. Each visitor starts his/her “virtual life” from childhood. As in real life, progression through the game involves seeing, hearing and interacting with the environment. The environment is fully represented by the target foreign language giving users the possibility to learn and progress in a natural manner." It would look like the first person simulator. I’d like to call your attention to that it is not a networking game and therefore does not presuppose communication or interaction between “gamers.” It does mean that no gamer speaking bad foreign language or not speaking foreign language at all will “teach” the other gamer. The online game will be based on screenplay written in advance where each stage of baby development will have a certain words, word combinations, sentences, situations and so on which, as in real life, occur on one or another baby development stage.
