Hi. I’ve been learning English on my own from scratch using the Internet for about one year and a half now. Playing The Sims has helped me learn a ton of vocabulary, so I’m curious if there’s any other games like that. Thanks.

    Animal Crossing (New Horizons specifically) is very similar to The Sims and is all about daily life, decorating, and maintaining a household. So I would imagine that could help with daily vocabulary. It might also give you a weird depth on dinosaurs and fish, but that’s an ok problem to have. Likewise Stardew Valley should be similar

        Technically? You could install a Switch emulator and run a cracked version. But that’s hardly ideal. I haven’t played it but I’ve heard Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is similar and well received

        Yes with an emulator. Look up dolphin for the gamecube version or torzu for switch. Dolphin + gamecube will be easier to run if your laptop isn’t very powerful
