[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

In an attempt to help myself learn French, I have changed the language of some Steam games I have to French. I might even try something like Fallout New Vegas in French some day.

I try to play as many games as I can in Italian or German to keep them up. Never imagined it would be so useful - the vocab used in games is so much more useful that the robotic stuff you learn at school. You learn real-life phrases that will help you abroad rather than "my uncle is a carpenter and has a dog called 'woof'."

Really? I might have to try this out. I would normally listen to things like E Nomine but that has proven insufficient of late. Its partially because we've been focusing on German history so a lot of words I have never heard are suddenly needed to be understood but this in German games thing might be worth a shot. Of course, I guess I need to find out what games I have have other language settings.

You totally should, and have the subtitles there as well so that you can read what's being said. Funnest way to learn and keep up a language.
