Lost Abroad Café
Lost Abroad Café is a language learning game that puts you in the role of a virtual café owner in a foreign country. As you serve customers and grow your business, you will learn and master your new language. With a variety of available languages and the ability to unlock new equipment and features for your coffee shop, Lost Abroad Café is the perfect way to learn and study. Try it now on Steam Early Access and start (or continue) your language learning journey today!
To get started, first select the location for your coffee shop among 7 cities across the world, with more coming up! Learn Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, or Japanese by opening up shop in Mexico City, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Shanghai, Soeul, or Kyoto!
Then, check out your store with an initial set of equipment and a simple menu.
Click on the tutorial buttons with the question mark to be given a tutorial on how to make specific drinks – in this game, you learn not by being given a translation, but by performing the action itself. This helps your brain associate new words with real life actions.
Then when you’re ready, hit PLAY and serve up the customers that enter your store.
But don’t’ get it wrong or else the customer will reject your order! If they’re too impatient, your store’s star rating will go down.
Once you’ve got enough money, buy more equipment to expand your menu. Keep practicing, serving customers, and buying equipment to keep learning!
Stay motivated by competing with other players on the leaderboard each day, week, month, and all time. How many customers can you serve?

my brain has to think about the French. I could order new stuff for my shop, but i am not ready yet. when i order more stuff for my shop, the customers will request more stuff. I dont know enough French to do that yet. This game is nice because the reward is improved language skills rather than in game advancements.
In the typical game, you gain super powers, new outfits, or whatever. In this game, achievement equals real-world gains. you do not merely add inventory to the store. you add inventory to you linguistic abilities.
Well done Lost Abroad. Great Language Development Game !!

Incredibly impressed with how much fun it is, how the learning blends into the tasks, but I echo what others have said, this is a recommendation based on the hope more will be added.
