Best videogames to learn Spanish - Intermediate Spanish

[@zZjak793Zz1]

This is the ultimate comprehensible input for a lot of people! I can only watch videos and listen to podcasts for so long. But I can play games for hours! Such a gamechanger for me and my language learning!!

[@crosscountryrunner8241]

You a boxing fan?

[@azariahsego-wallace2015]

he jugado por ciento o mas horas en espanol con estos videojuegos! es perfecion

[@willielearnsspanish7738]

LOVE playing the Assassin's Creed series in Spanish, because there's just SO MUCH dialogue, even when casually roaming, etc.

[@bbaprendeespanol]

An alternative method other than playing video games is to watch a gameplay video of a native Spanish speaker who plays the mentioned video games (or other games you prefer).

[@Wout1337]

Good one! Any channels you recommend?

There is lots of language we can read in Animal Crossing New Horizons. It is the language we use when walking around town talking to neighbors, shopping in stores, visiting museums. You can learn the Spanish names of lots of fish, bugs, shells, fossils, clothing and furniture plus lots more. It isn't fantasy language. It is the real language we use today. It is also very easy to pause and look up translations while playing. The language stays on screen until you respond. I use Google Translate on my tablet and set it to translate via the camera.

[@blederin5999]

it's not voice acted though right?

[@gibbonschip]

I've never been a video game player but I feel like I need a way to learn Spanish that is interactive and fast-paced, otherwise I seem to get bored. I watch a lot of travel videos in Spanish but if I'm not understanding it, I just tend to tune it out. I've subscribed to your channel. Hope to learn more.

[@matthewflowers1079]

Same here, I don't play video games much but I think they'll make learning Spanish even more fun. And I might start to understand all the video game lingo my friends use haha

[@leighcanham763]

He estado aprendiendo español durante 18 meses y he jugado The Last of Us (PS3 original) en español. Lo jugué muchas veces en inglés, por lo que es fácil seguir el español, pero con atención especial del idioma y no solo seguir la historia como yo conozco. Cambié la configuración y la región en mi PS3 y el juego cambio automáticamente al español. ¡Un experimento que tiene éxito! ¡Muchísimas gracias por este canal y por este video! ¡Excelente! Tengo 66 años y me encanta PS3 y PS5 también. Leo y escribo bastante bien en español, pero escuchar y hablar no es bueno. Así que gracias por hablar claro y lentamente. ¡Tu video es tan bueno como una clase de castellano! Entiendo todo excepto unas pocas palabras. Saludos desde Gales.

[@cairnsaiden]

You are a legend. I just found this channel and it is amazing. Thank you!!

[@leighcanham763]

I highly recommend video games to help with language learning. On a side note to your post. When I started to learn Spanish I was advised to steer clear of Spanish language films and TV series. I defied that advice. I am a big fan of Almadóvar and have many films on DVD by him. When I watch films I do so with Spanish subtitles, until I am familiar with the story and characters. Toc Toc is a good one for language learning; I watched it over and over. Humour is a great tool for learning, I have found. Ayer empecé jugar Ghost of Tsushima en español en PS5. ¡Excelente!

[@observant6953]

Don't forget Pokémon Iberia! It's made by fans and is basically the classical Pokemon game, but it is set in Spain and you can visit spanish cities etc. I didn't play much, because my spanish isn't good enough yet, but it is definitely worth checking out!

[@reijugips3264]

This is amazing, I was able to comprehend what you were saying (I can only speak basic spanish)

[@aaronoffline8049]

You can play Skyrim and AC: Black Flag in Spanish on the Switch, you just download the language packs as DLC. As well as the Assassin's Creed games Ubisoft dub most of their games into multiple languages so Watch Dogs etc. as well. My recommendation for great CI is Until Dawn on Playstation, it's nonstop clear, important dialogue and is actually fun too. Similar games are Detroit Become Human and Heavy Rain.

[@aaronoffline8049]

De nada 👍

[@tennisratchet5251]

gracias, español es su ver mas fácil.

[@jamesmccloud7535]

I already have Skyrim, Zelda and a bunch of AC games! Will definitely play them in Spanish! Especially AC black flag which takes place in the Caribbean as a pirate raiding Spanish ships lmao

[@Theaggyyu]

I also recommend: - Kingdom Hearts 2 (If you have the PC version, you can mod in the Spanish voice acting from the PAL PS2 version) - Hi-Fi RUSH (Came out this year, has Castellano AND Latin American, both fully dubbed as well) - Metal Gear Solid 1 (Slightly older game, has a full and legendary Spanish dub)

[@BaackTheBaptist]

Metro 2033/Last Light and Exodus also have full Spanish Dialogue

[@sickhorse]

Im 42 years old and the english i know is mostly learned with pc. Not only video games, in the 80's and 90's all the software was in english so i got to figure what the text means. I know is not the best english but enought to understand what i need XD.

[@jacey156]

Civilization VI for Switch has Spanish audio and text, but it's on the difficult side. I've also learned lots of everyday vocabulary from Animal Crossing.

[@MystaHector]

Empeze jugar Grim Fandango y me encanta Manny Calavera. Español encaja muy bien con este juego.

[@orkunokur-muzikkanal3197]

Videojuegos son muy utiles para aprender muchas cosas. He jugado a algunos juegos que no se han mencionado en este video. Por ejemplo The Talos Principle, Tomb Raider, Alien Isolation, Close to the sun, Watch Dogs, Portal, Detroit Become Human, League of Legends y más. Yo creo que jugar es una manera divertida para aprender un idioma. Gracias :)

[@Silver_Warden]

Here are some games featuring full Spanish dubbing for classic RTS fans: C&C Tiberian Sun (great dubbing, fun cutscenes), StarCraft (1 and 2), Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (I was so surprised to learn it was fully dubbed!).

[@themysticalant]

What level would you recommend being at to get the most out of these games? Specifically assassins creed and cyberpunk. I’m almost finished watching all the beginner videos, so I started watching 1-2 intermediates a day to gauge where I’m at. Beginner is a breeze and I feel I understand intermediate videos pretty well, but it definitely depends on the video and person talking haha. Anyways thanks for the great vid Pablo!

[@themysticalant]

@@jenkins_sa lmao I can easily see myself doing the same. But that’s a good idea checking them out on KZbin first. Thanks for the advice!

[@aaaaaaaaaaron92]

Fallout 3 has Spanish voice acting on the Steam version. Pretty impressive for how big the game is.

[@ismaeles93]

I´m spaniard and I´m playing fallout 3 in italian and english to improve and that´s amazing

[@Rops1423]

1. The switch is very easy to bypass region lock. Create a new Nintendo account, and select what region/county you want. 2. The 3ds isn't too hard to bypass region lock. You do have to mod it, but you can do it in less then an hour, very little risk and all you need is another device with a micro SD card reader, file explorer, and an internet browser.

[@tomatosoupinacan]

Estoy jugando stardew valley en español, me ayuda muchisimo a aprender como se llaman las frutas y verduras. No tiene voz pero tiene bastante texto y es muy divertido!

[@henrydelacroix1925]

Gracias por tu consejos. Empiezo a aprender español y me pregunta cuáles son los vidéo juegos que puedo jugar por mi entrenar. Pienso que voy a juego todos los viejos assassin’s creed que tengo sobre la playstation tres.

[@rickyfulbrook1026]

I've been playing video games in Spanish but I cant say I've been getting much benefit as my comprehension is too low. So I'm back to English for now. What level on Dreaming Spanish do you think I should be to play games in Spanish again?

[@RuakHaQadash]

me sorprende que nadie no ha mencionado GTA jaja. Lo creo que tiene mucho input. Gracias por este video

[@Fanaz10]

lol, yo juego a gta online en español

[@anotheridiotgamer396]

No estoy seguro que todavía usted está leyendo este sección de comentarios pero quiero decir que puedes "homebrew" el 3DS de tuyo y jugar todos los videojuegos de algún país. Además, ¿cuantos podcasts tienen ustedes por los subscriptores? Me gustan los videos pero a veces no quiero estar enfrente de mi computadora por un hora. También, por favor usted no despide Agustina. Es mi hablante favorita, pese a los "y" e "ll" ruidos. Muy extraño.

[@Thoroughmas]

Me gusta juegos multijugadores, pero estos son buenos recomendaciones. gracias!

[@johnm8041]

What level should I be at if I want to start learning with video games?

[@jeremyweaver5639]

Sería interesante saber cuáles videojuegos crees que son mejores para enseñar español en vez de aprender. Ya vi tu video de GeoGuesser y me encantó, pero no sé si tienes otras ideas de videojuegos que pueden servir como el base del input para estudiantes principantes.

[@DreamingSpanish]

Yo voy probando los que me parecen mejores para enseñar. Creo que los mejores son los que tienen muchos objetos y acciones diferentes: Minecraft, Don't Starve, I Expect You To Die, y la mayoría de juegos de construcción.

[@jeremyweaver5639]

@@DreamingSpanish tiene sentido. También parece importante que no sea un videojuego que se tarda 20 horas en completar, claro. Echaré un vistazo a tu vídeo de don't starve. Gracias!

[@Drahcir14]

Broken Sword 1 and 2!!!!!!!

[@UsefullThing312]

theres also an RPG game called disco elysium, where you play as a detective and have to choose lots and lots of dialouge, ive played it in english and i know it exists in spanish (although i would guess the writing might be to hard for learners)

[@ledelste]

No lo puedo creer que mencionaste el videojuego más cercano a mi corazón, Grim Fandango. Ha jugado muchas veces y me encantan sus personajes. La actuación de voz es de cualidad más alto. Nunca había pensado de jugarlo en español pero ahora haré.

[@gr8tnes_incarnat960]

I have been playing Assassins creed Origins and Odyssey with spanish audio and subtitles. Hay mucho contenido.

[@aaronoffline8049]

I'm also playing Odyssey en español at the moment, it's awesome.

[@Pnkfloid49]

Should I be counting my video game time as well as my reading time (books) towards the hours of comprehensible input on the dreaming spanish website?

[@АвгустинАтанасов]

Pablo, que tal? ¿Puede contarnos más sobre su estilo de expresión? Hablas muy claro. Me expreso mucho más complicado y a veces confundo a la gente. Gracias.

[@DreamingSpanish]

¡Practica! Yo he practicado mucho haciendo Crosstalk y he aprendido a comunicarme de manera que la gente que aprende el idioma me entienda.

[@Carlitos-Spanish]

Do you think tears of the kingdom would be good for comprhensible input? (I want to get the most out of the game)

[@Dylanh93186]

Mas videos sobre de videojuegos por favor!

[@spongechameleon6940]

Gracias por hablar lentamente, muy fácil para entender

[@sobriquet5016]

Hey Pablo, I've seen you play Sims on your channel, but do you recommend a learner to actually play Sims as a means to learn Spanish?

[@popcultureoverdosed]

I hope more and more games get Spanish dubs in the future

[@StormChaser9911]

The Nintendo Switch is NOT region blocked.

[@sinuhezarzuelero6054]

Te olvidaste de mencionar a Blasphemous, el cual tiene una actuación en español sumamente buena.

[@Pnkfloid49]

How many hours should you have before trying Skyrim in Español?

[@Pnkfloid49]

Looks like I'm at 705 hours and this weekend I've been able to start Final Fantasy XIV. It is slow going as I have to pause it a ton and use subtitles but I'm really enjoying it.

[@mutatedmunkee4283]

Buen video

[@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt]

Consider Diablo 2 Stories Untold Children of Morta A Highland Song The Walking Dead The telltale series Ghostbusters? Dredge Litchi Town Minekos night market Botany Manor Wylde Flowers Nobody saves the world 80 days Red dead Redemption Edit I don't know if these will be in Spanish or not but because you're a gamer I imagine you could check into that some of them will be great games anyways . this is more less a list of games that I'm interested testing in Spanish

[@chookiessss]

Hey Pablo, is it still possible to download the PDF on the language learning map? When I went to sign up again to get it nothing happened. Thanks

Just watched a movie called Toc Toc, very good

[@ismaeles93]

METAL GEAR SOLID Spanish version PSX

[@Gutierrez-zy5mm]

I like these games, but I don't think they are good for language learning. Because most of them are action games.

[@SoulOctavius]

Right now I'm playing The Last of US en Español. Yo hope me can learn Español better. Yo love The Last of US

[@ジョジョさま]

Finding a game that uses Latin American Spanish is next to impossible. I don't like European Spanish. Especially that lithp...Though I do wish Latin America would use Vosotros. It seems silly to leave it out, and it seems silly that I sort of have to choose. 7:15 I mean come on...

[@NazraT1704]

I agree with the “lithp”, but disagree with the vosotros. Spain is the only one that uses it, and it would be easier for them to stop than all others to start. Plus, why add extra conjugations if you don’t have to? There’s already enough

[@ジョジョさま]

@@NazraT1704 Latinamerica never used vosotros because thats how missionaries spoke. It doesn't make sense to use nosotros for then and you all.

[@NazraT1704]

@@ジョジョさま nosotros is for us, but that’s not relevant There’s no need to use vosotros. It’s just an extra conjugation. And stating the reason why latam doesn’t use it, doesn’t change the fact that it’s easier to get one country to stop than to get 18, or however many, to start English doesn’t have a separate conjugation for you formal and you informal and we do just fine, and I’m sure other languages as well. Not to mention *all* of latam does fine too. There’s just no need for vosotros. Seems silly to use it when you don’t have to

[@ジョジョさま]

@@NazraT1704 They understand it. They all do. They don't use it by choice, not even to clarify misunderstandings. So, it's entirely by choice. I'd even venture to say that it isn't because of culture.

[@NazraT1704]

@@ジョジョさま I never said they don’t understand it? I said there’s no reason to use it. There are languages with far less conjugations that get by fine. And like I’ve said multiple times already, getting one country to stop would be easier than getting 20 to start. Whether they already understand it or not

[@itzwulfi8988]

Id recommend FarCry 6, you can still play in English but pick up plenty of Spanish through context.
