spanish game rockalingua

Level: Children and Beginners 

Rockalingua is brilliant because it offers music-based Spanish learning. So if you’re an auditory learner, then this is a great game for you. Their games are created for children or anyone learning basic words and phrases.

Each game focuses on a different topic, such as colors, feelings, animals, basic verbs, and more. These colorful interactive games work on a computer or tablet.

One helpful feature of the Rockalingua games is the ability to hear all the possible answers, not just the correct ones, so you can learn through listening and repeating. Additionally, the narrators of the games offer gentle encouragement, even when incorrect choices are made.

The songs are available for free! You can also access lots of their other games and resources for free. There’s also the option of paid subscriptions which start at $20 a month / $99 a year.

Conclusion: This website is really good for practising listening skills in an unusual way. The games are entertaining for beginners. The free sections are limited, so it’s not useful if you’re more advanced. If you want to practice your listening skills more check out our article about Learning Spanish with Podcasts.

Start by choosing one of the categories available and you’ll then be asked to choose if you want to play English to Spanish or Spanish to English.Your task will be to read the word in the lower part of the screen and explode the balloon with the correct translation.

spanish game spanish in flow

Level: Beginners and Intermediate 

Spanish in Flow is a fun way to learn or review vocabulary while under pressure.

Although this game was originally created for beginners, any learner can make good use of it. You can choose the slow version, or for a more advanced game go for the fast one.

Once you’ve chosen your game mode, you’ll be presented with a lot of different categories. When you hover your mouse over each of them, you’ll see the list of words that it contains. This would be the perfect moment to write the words down and get to know them. You can look them up in the dictionary or, if you know them already, just write down the word and translation next to it.

After hearing the word read in Spanish, you’ll have to choose the corresponding picture. If you make a mistake or let the time go down, some of the options will start disappearing, until you’ll eventually be left with just one, the correct one.

Watch out for the time.

It doesn’t start again when you give a correct answer! It’ll continue to go down, going up just a little every time you give a correct answer, until you have no time left or choose all the correct pictures.

This is a great game to add a little pressure to the learning process. The fast pace also makes you think quickly, which will definitely come in handy while taking a test or talking to native speakers (we know that can be stressful, too!).

Conclusion: Fast hands is a fun, fast-paced game to play when you want to practice Spanish vocab. It is better than some of the more basic Spanish games and the range of topics are perfect for beginners. The best about this is that there is no available premium option, so everything is 100% free, without any paywall!

spanish game spanishgamesnet

Level: Beginners

This website is great when you want to focus on a particular topic. You choose your topic and a difficulty level, intermediate or beginner, then you can follow the lessons. After each learning section you can reinforce your knowledge with a choice of 9 games solely focused on the topics you’ve been learning. Of course you can also skip straight to the games section.

The games are all fairly basic but they’re still a fun way to practice your Spanish. They range from standard word play games to ‘adventure’ style games, although these ones may be better suited for children learning Spanish they can still be valuable. The games allow you to practice quickfire questions under time restrictions.

Conclusion: This website is a bit outdated but useful if you want to practice a specific topic. It is better for beginners because of the choice of topics and style of games. Also no premium version available!

spanish game the dialogue game

Level: Intermediate to Advanced 

The Dialogue Game is great for intermediate and advanced students who want to practice their conversation skills. Although it’s no substitute for actually speaking in Spanish to a native speaker, it can be useful to practice the type of language and sentence structure in dialogues.

When you enter the game, you’ll first have to choose between two categories. This is great because you can concentrate on reviewing a specific grammar area, or you can choose your dialogues by your topic of interest.

You’ll then hear two people have a conversation (which you’ll be able to listen to as many times as you want), and you’ll be given some questions (or prompts), and you’ll have to choose the correct one.

Conclusion: The style of the game is very outdated compared to modern apps. But it’s a nice approach to conversation practice. It’s a good way of practising you’re listening skills and learning the type of phrases commonly used in conversation.

Conversational skills are the most valued part of any language. Not only are they important for travel and business but you can’t learn a language without practising speaking!

Which is why here at Let’s Speak Spanish we offer conversation classes online with native Spanish speakers. So you can become fluent in Spanish from anywhere in the world!

  1. Great list! Another free online game for practicing Spanish is http://www.asklingua.com AskLingua is played like the game “Guess Who”. The twist is that it’s made for language practice and includes jumbled word quizzes (for learning to ask questions) and fill-in-the-blanks for memorizing some vocabulary.
