These days I'm playing the latest edition of the fifa football series, and EA sports really were kind to language learner football fans this time. That is, you can select languages for each of the two main areas of the game: for the menu and all written features of the game - such as news specific for your favourite team, or the requirements of your superiors at the club as a manager - and which is even more important you can select commentators for every match you play out of 5 languages, among them of course English, but also Czech, Polish, and even Hungarian.
This game can be really beneficial for learners who like football, because they are more or less familiar with the situations which occur in the game, and they can acquire the necessary vocabulary easily during playing a match.
I've never played any FIFA, or sports games for that matter, but I'm sure if you're a fan of football it's a great way to learn the terminology via a game. It was rather surprising to see that they have added Hungarian as one of the languages for commentary! So far I've only noticed Hungarian subtitles in games but never a dub. It's a nice touch for language learners indeed. :)
VálaszTörléscould you list some words that you learned from this game?
VálaszTörlésI presonally only learned one new word from it, that is 'allocation'. This word is used in an option where you can adjust a slidebar to suit your budget allocation as a manager according to player wages and new transfers.

In addition, the in-game commentary provides an exhaustive amount of authentic language, almost to the effect of listening to the radio.
