3 New Games on Parroto: Learning Vocabulary Has Never Been This Fun

Learning vocabulary doesn't have to mean staring at a long list, trying to memorize every single word. When new words appear in a challenge, a complete sentence, or even a "showdown" with monsters, the review process can become much more active and exciting.

Parroto has just added 3 new vocabulary learning games: Fruit Toss, Parrot Flying on Clouds, and Bridge Builder. Each game offers a different gameplay experience and focuses on various skills such as spelling, word recognition, sentence structure, and active recall.

Fruit Toss: Type the Right Word, Protect the Parrot

Fruit Toss transforms a vocabulary review session into a tower defense battle. Monsters will continuously advance towards the parrot, while the screen displays the meaning of a word. Your task is to recall and accurately type the corresponding English word.

For example, when the screen shows:

Meaning: dũng cảm

you need to quickly type:

brave

Answer correctly, and the parrot will throw a fruit at the monster, pushing them back. If you let the monsters get too close, they will attack, and you lose a life. The word you missed will also be displayed so you can remember it immediately afterward.

An interesting feature is that the response time is adjusted according to the word's length. Longer words will grant you more time, helping to balance the game's difficulty.

Parrot Flying on Clouds: See the Meaning and Choose the Right Word in Seconds

If Fruit Toss requires you to type the answer yourself, Parrot Flying on Clouds focuses more on word recognition speed.

The parrot will fly on a 3D cloud bridge divided into three lanes. Ahead, three gates appear, each containing an English word, while the meaning you need to find is displayed at the top of the screen.

For instance, when you see:

Meaning: cơ hội

you must quickly steer the parrot towards the gate:

opportunity

Choosing correctly in succession helps you build combos and gradually increase your flying speed. If you choose incorrectly, you lose a life, and your speed will decrease.

As the game gets faster, you no longer have much time to translate each answer in your head. You must recognize the meaning of the word almost instantly.

This is also a crucial skill in real-life communication. When listening or speaking English, we rarely have enough time to pause, translate a word into our native language, and then continue processing the sentence.

Bridge Builder: Learn Vocabulary in a Complete Sentence

Knowing the meaning of a word doesn't equate to knowing how to use that word.

That's why Bridge Builder puts vocabulary back where it usually appears: in sentences.

Each round uses an example sentence from your vocabulary flashcards. The words in the sentence are separated into wooden planks and shuffled. You need to arrange them correctly to build a bridge for the parrot to cross.

For example:

She ______ a new language to travel the world.

You need to determine the appropriate position for learned, and simultaneously arrange the remaining components in the correct sentence order.

The word being learned will appear highlighted on a separate plank, making it easy to observe where the word stands and what other components it combines with in the sentence.

Thus, Bridge Builder not only tests word meaning but also helps practice word order, collocations, sentence structure, and reading speed.
