Duolingo: the habit builder
Duolingo is the easiest way to practise five minutes every day: streaks, leagues and short exercises keep you coming back, and the free version covers a lot of grammar.
Its limit is speaking. You translate and tap sentences, but you rarely have to answer a person in a situation, which is why many learners can read Spanish after a year and still freeze in a café.
Hola Town: first conversations in a Spanish town
Hola Town (that’s us) is a 3D town you walk around in your browser. Chapter 1 is six missions in a row: order a coffee, find your flat, meet your landlady, buy fruit at the market, have dinner with a neighbour and catch the last bus. Every line is voiced by native speakers and every object has its Spanish name.
Limits, honestly: Chapter 1 is short (six missions plus mini-lessons in the park and the plaza), it teaches Spain Spanish for beginners, and you answer by choosing or typing, with no speech recognition yet. Mission 1 is free with no sign-up; the chapter is a one-time $6.99 unlock.
Noun Town: vocabulary in 3D
Noun Town is a 3D language game on Steam and VR that teaches vocabulary through a town you restore, with native audio, spaced repetition and speech recognition. It offers Spain and Mexico Spanish as separate tracks and has a free demo. It is strongest for nouns and pronunciation, less for full conversations.
WonderLang and Pedro’s Adventures: long games
WonderLang Spanish is a role-playing game where battles are vocabulary drills, with dozens of hours of play for A1–A2 learners. Pedro’s Adventures in Spanish is a story adventure with thousands of voiced lines in Latin American Spanish, good for listening once you know the basics.
Real games in Spanish, once you have the basics
From about B1, switch a game you know well to Spanish. Cosy games with lots of everyday dialogue (Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Pokémon) repeat the same words for food, places and feelings, and you already know the story, so you can guess from context.
How to choose
- Complete beginner going to Spain soon: Hola Town for the situations, Duolingo for the daily habit.
- You want to talk, not just tap: pick a game with voiced dialogue, then book a real conversation (language exchange or tutor).
- You love long games: WonderLang or Noun Town.
- You already understand a lot: play your favourite game in Spanish.
