Yanling

Yanling is a role-playing game you play in Chinese. You wake up in the Mist Realm, a world painted in ink where a spoken name holds a spirit to its promise. The names are being forgotten, the seals are cracking, and the way home goes through the Academy. Teacher Mo will teach you the language of the realm: Mandarin Chinese. SPEAK, AND THE WORLD ANSWERS • Talk to everyone: greet, ask the way, introduce yourself, persuade. • Haggle at the market: 多少钱？ 太贵了！ Real phrases for real situations. • Your words are magic: say a thing's name to pull it to you, freeze the river with a word. • Type, tap word tiles, or speak: the game understands hanzi and pinyin. ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU (i+1) • The game keeps track of every word you know. People speak with words you have met plus one new one, its meaning a tap away. • Pinyin over every character, over new words only, or off; English after you have tried, or never. • Words you are about to forget come back in talk, signs and spells: spaced repetition without flashcards. LESSONS THAT LEAD SOMEWHERE • One small errand a day: a two-minute lesson, then go out and use it. • Listen, shadow, practise, act it out: every lesson is a short scene from A1 to B1. • Write every character stroke by stroke with your calligraphy teacher. • Hear the four tones in the Tone Hall and see your own pitch drawn over their shapes. A WORLD TO EXPLORE • Spirit sight shows every thing's Chinese name. • Seven seals, mist spirits, secrets, puzzles that you solve by saying the right thing. • A hand-painted story of names, spirits and a white fox.
