Power Up Your English with 10 Online Practice Games

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

I have a friend who just couldn’t get anywhere with English class.

He’s a French speaker from Canada and was studying English as a second language in school. His classes weren’t helping him improve speaking and listening skills. It seemed no matter many times he reviewed his notes and did his homework, he wasn’t able to improve.

Eventually, he stopped spending so much time studying English and just started playing online games instead.

Many English learners have had this experience. Maybe you have, too.

The good news is that playing games turned out to be the best choice my friend could’ve made for his language skills.

As he played, he’d spend hours using English to talk to his teammates and opponents in the game. And you know what? He started learning how to hold English conversations with people!

After a short while, he was using English confidently and more naturally.

This is because one of the best ways for you to learn English is to turn your hobbies into language-learning experiences. It makes English practice fun, exciting and valuable to you. It helps you to memorize vocabulary words and practice speaking and writing in English in a way that’s both fun and educational.

In this post, we’ll get you started with nine online games that are perfect for English practice.

We’ll start with some that were developed especially for language learners. Then we’ll show you how to practice English just like my friend did, with multiplayer games that native speakers play.
