Recently, I’ve got into the game, Vocabular King (ボキャブラキング). This free game runs on iPod touch or iPhone, and can check your spelling ability of English words. In the game, for a given Japanese word, a player has to tap the English spelling of the word inside 9 second. If the time limit is over or a player mis-taps, the game is over and the score is given. Thus, a player need know the correct spelling of the words and needs to tap quickly. A player also gets a world ranking for the score. The game has twelve levels, level 1 is the easiest and level 12 is the most difficult. I often played the game at Level 1 or 2 on the train these days. And although the level was one I became world rank 54th where the score is 15,110. To get the score I continued to play it for over 30 minutes. But a high level’s game is very difficult. I thought that I have to memorize more English words. I want to be able to read a newspaper or a magazine in English without a dictionary.
