About the Game

Earthlingo is a vocabulary learning game. You play as the alien Maco, exploring Earth and learning one of 28 different languages.

Every item in Earthlingo is an opportunity to learn a new word. The game world lets you associate each word with a location, improving recall.
Once you learn new words, use them to defeat evil robots and save the humans of this beautiful blue planet.

Earthlingo teaches 1000+ words and 50+ sentences in 28 languages all for free!
(Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese)

The best place to follow development, submit bug reports and feature requests is Earthlingo's Reddit page.

Notes:
  • We have recently changed our main character, we will leave up a beta version of Earthlingo with the original green alien for sentimental value. This is available via the Steam beta channel originalgreenalienmarch2023. If you explore the newest version of the game, you may also find some traces of our old friend :)
