Looking for a fun language game? Here are five to choose from:

1. translation zilla

   A translation game where you have sixty seconds to translate as many words as possible. The languages you can choose from are english, german, french, spanish, italian, and simplified chinese.

2. How Many Languages Can You Recognize?

   Given the phrase “I can eat glass and it doesn’t hurt me”, how many translations of this can you recognize? There are 33 languages represented. Full disclosure: this is the first game we developed at langalot.com.

3. Etymologic

   Billed as “The Toughest Word Game on the Web”, in this game, you are given ten etymology multiple choice questions. It is tough: I only got three correct.

4. Digital Dialects

   While these are fairly basic games, they do have a vast number of languages: 59! Most of the games are simple multiple choice quizzes. Given a word in a foreign language, pick the correct meaning.

5. Word Association

   Given a word, what’s the first word that comes to mind? There’s no right answer. The site is simply building up a database of associations between words. But the results can be interesting. It’s kind of like Family Feud: associations for “tease”.

Have fun! Let me know of other language games out there…
