Best thing about it is, you simply go up to your options and change your language to whatever you want to practice. Many games come in 4 or 5 languages. Steam AUTOMATICALLY downloads the files needed to play the game in another language, if it is offered. I nearly crapped my pants when it happened because it was so easy and awesome. That is the best thing about games with recorded dialogue. I never realized this would have been so useful until the idea occurred to me. Also, the Star Wars vocabulary is making me laugh. Kopfgeldjäger (Bounty Hunter), that is a German word I never thought I would memorize. It's eclectic but very fun and effective.

So you can listen to the L2 while reading the L1? Also, how can you find out which games have which
language combinations before you buy them? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No, you get L2 audio and text together. On Steam the languages are listed on the bottom right, for example: http://store.steampowered.com/app/24980/ lists English, French, German, Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish. If the game doesn't have full speech, it's usually listed as well: http://store.steampowered.com/app/32360/ English*, French, German, Spanish, Italian *languages with full audio support RPGs and adventure games are usually the most dialogue heavy. For Japanese, Nintendo DS is the way to go. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Now that I think of it, I think I remember watching some videos of Portal 2 multiplayer
with audio in English but the subtitles in Italian. If a language doesn't have audio support for that game, I guess you can get your L-R one way, but not the other. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I really wish that L.A. Noire was on steam. I'm pretty sure that game is 90% dialogue and
audio. 1 person has voted this message useful |
