Bangkok. Let's finish. How can I make this a better game for language learners?
Well done, you're correct! The place I was describing is indeed Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand.
As for making this game better for language learners, here is a suggestion:
Add a category: Instead of simply describing a place, you could choose a category, such as famous people, animals, or foods, and then describe a specific example without revealing its name. This can help learners practice vocabulary related to a specific topic
To make this game better for language learners, you could also consider using descriptions that feature vocabulary related to a specific language or culture that the learner is studying. For example, if someone is studying Spanish, you could use descriptions that feature Spanish-speaking countries or landmarks, or if someone is learning Japanese, you could use descriptions that feature Japanese cities or cultural traditions. Additionally, you could offer feedback or explanations for incorrect guesses to help the learner expand their vocabulary and comprehension.
