Update #6 Learning & Progress

Hello citizens of Noun Town! 👋

Mastering foreign vocab has never been easier ✌️




🏆 CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS
With our new PROGRESS screen, see exactly how much new vocabulary you've gained, boosting your motivation and keeping you on track in your language journey.

This screen works alongside the “Streak” and “Daily Goals” systems to encourage consistent practice, helping you move toward fluency and bringing color back to Noun Town and its residents.




🔎 DISCOVER EVEN MORE VOCAB
By seeing all the words and phrases available in the game, you can quickly identify the content you still need to explore.

This enables you to turbo-charge your vocab acquisition.


🔒 RECAP VOCAB & LOCK IN YOUR LEARNING
The new LEARNING & PROGRESS pages are your hub to review all the new knowledge you've gained in Noun Town. Explore nouns, verbs, adjectives, and phrases at your own speed to refresh and master your language of choice.

Paired with the built-in Spaced Repetition System (SRS) and engaging mini-games, this is another effective method to practice your way to fluency.


HOW TO ACCESS:
You can access the LEARNING & PROGRESS screen in VR or MR at any time by pulling up the menu / frame (press “B”) and clicking on the chart icon.

MORE free updates and features planned for summer 👀

[v2.2] New Alphabet trainer added!

Welcome citizens of Noun Town! 👋

In this major update we've added an Alphabet training machine! This console, called 'Alpha-Bash', can be found in the airship behind the SRS machine.

The Alpha-Bash console is a fast and frantic way to lock-in foreign alphabet vocab, racing against the clock to set a high score. Listen to a native speaker pronounce a letter, then to hit the corresponding character to score.



Phonetic alphabets can be played in English, Japanese (Hiragana & Katakana), German, Korean, Spanish (MX), Spanish (ES), French, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek and Egyptian Arabic.

We'll also soon be adding the ability to pick between other topics to learn on the console, including colours, numbers, directions, and more!

Enjoy! :)
