Learn a new language with Influent on Steam (Learn Spanish)

Well, hello again. Well, in this video I want to, I want to talk about another, another thing I'm doing to learn Spanish. I have a game that's on Steam. Now, this game costs ten dollars and you can build up an extra, uh, a little over 400 words of new vocabulary in, in, there's a few different languages, but I'm using Spanish. Let's just jump right into it. So this is, um, this is called Influent and there's a story to make it kind of like a game. I'm just going to basically skip over that stuff. It's, it's, it's just not that important. Um, I'll, I'll explain what I use Influent for and, and, and if you're like it, then you can get it It's right there on Steam. So I'm going to choose play. I have, let's try this one here where it says that I've mastered 40 words just so I can show how vocabulary lists are built. So the premise of this game is you're in a one bedroom apartment and all the items in this apartment, if you click on it, it'll tell you what the name is in the language that you're choosing to learn. So since I'm in Spanish, when I click on this, it tells you in Spanish. I will say that the vocabulary is from Spain. So the dialect is going to be a European Spanish, uh, but 90% of it is, is just fine. Especially if you're learning, if you're just learning and anybody who's using this is obviously just learning, uh, just the fact that maybe a few words might be a little different. You'll be all right. So here we go. Like, Oh, so that's another thing too. Some items have multiple different words that describe that item and you can swap it and choose that. Add this word to your vocabulary list. Let's add a game. You build up vocabulary lists. So here, when you go to vocabulary right here, you can see that it takes 10 words to build the list and then you can test yourself on those 10 words. You can reorganize them and put them in different, different locations. This is the, uh, the examples of how to do that right here. So control plus the left, uh, left mouse button allows you to, allows you to mark something. And if you wanted to put it in a different order, you just swap it or with another list, it'll swap, it'll swap them all over the place. Let me build up a small list real quick, and then I'll show you how, how to test yourself. So what do we want to know? We want to know what this is. Or since that's easier for me to learn, that's one, that's the one that I'll go with. After you've built your first 10, um, 10 words, it opens up other, other things, not just the noun, not just the name of the item. You also have adjectives and sometimes there's verbs associated with that. So conveniente. Conveniente is the adjective associated with the remote. Almohada. Almohada. Let's see. Sofa. El sofa. Sweater. Sweater. Sudadera. Maleta. Maleta. Armario empotrado. Armario empotrado. Zapato. What is this? Colgador. All right. So we built up a, a list and to test yourself on the list you just made, you can go here to vocabulary and, and do a test on this list. If there's, when you're looking at your list and you see that there's a little dot there, that means that, that, that word has either adjectives or noun or verbs associated with it. So el juego. Divertido. Divertido means fun. Jugar. Jugar means play. So there's a verb, there's an adjective and there's a noun and they're all associated with the game. So, but you can do a random list or you can do a time attack on the list you're on. These are the tips that you can have to make it easy, make your challenge a little harder or easier where they can show the text here. You can hear them speak it. They can show hints of what you're looking for and the translation if you get it wrong or right. Zapato. So zapato is a shoe. Maleta. Maleta is a suitcase. Sofa. Sofa. Conveniente. Conveniente. Remember that's what's convenient. Conveniente. The remote is convenient. Ordenador. Ordenador is a laptop. Control remoto. Control remoto es conveniente. Colgador. Colgador is a hanger. Sudadera. Sudadera is a sweatshirt. You just kind of move around. Suéter. Suéter. Juego. Juego. All right. That's basically how this game works. There's over 400 words of vocabulary you can learn household vocabulary. So if you want to know what things are called, let's just get to it. Alfombra. Alfombra. There's so many things I did not know how to say outlet or well I don't even know if you would call it we call them the plug and outlets or it's so many things you can say something in English. Enchufe is. Enchufe. Enchufe is the outlet. And what is this so that I got to charge. There's so many different things. You can open up all these doors and see all the items in the refrigerator. Milk. Cakes. Drinks. Different kinds of meats. Items. The freezers has stuff in it too. Ice cream. Ice. Chocolate. The drawers open up and there's batteries and markers and scissors and razors. Dishwasher. The oven. There's pies and oven racks. Different things like that. If you want to know what the different features of something is. So everything is the horno. Horno. Well the top part here is the cocina. The stove. Cocina. But if you hold the control button you can see how things kind of light up a little different there. That means if you want to know what the knob is called. Ruedecilla. Ruedecilla. Ruedecilla. The knob. Right. If you want to know what the burner is called. Fogón. Fogón. Fogón. Is the burner. And so on and so forth. There's there's drawers with different things in there. There's knives, spoons, forks, chopsticks, sponges. All the way down to. Lavabo. Lavabo is the the sink. But if you hit the control button you can see that you want to know what the not these handles are called. Manilla. Manilla. Manilla or the faucet. Grifo. Grifo. Windows. Curtains. Barra. The bathroom. So here I'll go to the bathroom here and you can open up this door. And all the items in the bathroom and in the medicine cabinet. These are really good items to want to learn learn the names for. Ropa interior. Ropa interior. Well thanks for watching. I hope this helps if you're interested in learning Spanish and want to build some basic vocabulary of household items. This will not teach you how to talk or anything. But I'm I'm doing this isn't the only thing you you need to do. This is just one thing that can help you learn quite a few names of items. And it really has helped me. And good luck in your learning in your language journey guys guys and girls. Thanks for watching.
