Your language dictionary is now a game!

July 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Language games startup English Bubble have released Word Bucket, a free mobile app that turns the traditional translation dictionary into a fun and personal learning game. Word Bucket allows learners, of up to 10 languages, to save the words they find in their dictionary and then learn them through fun tests and games.

"We wanted to improve the passive and limited experience of using a language dictionary." says Danny Smits, CEO of English Bubble. "Currently most dictionary apps are just references which the learner uses just to find a translation at any given moment. Learning a language is a personal journey and we wanted your dictionary to play a part in that. With Word Bucket learners can now search and find new words in a dictionary, save them to their personal Bucket and then learn these new words in fun tests and games. This way learners get to keep all the words they discover and practise until they've learned all the words in their Bucket.”

Language learners are constantly finding new words, looking them up in their dictionary and scribbling them down on pieces of paper which often get lost. Word Bucket allows them to find, save, practise and learn the new words they discover. The best part is it's all done through fun games and tests.

Scientifically designed by language and game experts, Word Bucket is for language learners of all ages and levels. It is a fun and useful companion for language learners online, in a classroom, travelling or studying and allows the learner to control where and when they practise.

Word Bucket is initially available to learners of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and English.        

The company expects mobile language games like Word Bucket to play a huge role in the coming years and believes they have hit on the perfect formula to help learners of all ages and levels learn in fun and exciting ways. “Word Bucket is only the first of the very exciting products we have in development and we believe the mixture of fun, personal and social language games is something that learners across the world will really come to love.” adds Danny.
