Using an iPhone & iPad in Thailand Tips, App Reviews and News for the iPhone and iPad by Richard Barrow

Game for English & Thai Learners

Posted on July 8, 2010


There is an iPhone game called ฟอง สบู่ which is both cute and very addictive. The English name is English Word Bubble Review. It is actually aimed at Thai people to learn English vocabulary in a fun way. However, it is great fun for people learning Thai. I meant to only play it once or twice but I haven't put it down all week. It is so addictive.

The game has four levels of difficulty. The easy level has 300 vocabulary words. You are given the word in Thai script and then you have to pop the bubbles with your fingers in the correct order to spell out the English word. As you can see, as long as you can read Thai, it doesn't matter if you are learning English or Thai. Your score is in the top right and the countdown clock is in the left. After each game you are given a vocabulary review which encourages you to keep playing to improve your high score. The price for this app at present is $2.99 which was recently reduced from $4.99.

COMPETITION: I liked this game so much that I asked the developers if we could have some spare copies to give away in a competition. They generously gave us five copies! To win one, all you have to do is post a comment to this post. It is that easy. We will be picking the winners on Sunday 11th July 2010. Good luck!
