Abstract
A location-based game may include language learning features to help a player learn a foreign language. To generate these features, the game may generate language information by allowing players to play language gathering games. For example, a virtual character can use a native language of a player to instruct the player to identify an object in an environment. The player may then identify the object in the environment. The player may also speak the name of the identified object. The name of the object, a recording of the player speaking the name, and pixel values representing the object may be associated together. By gathering this information across different languages, a database can be formed that includes language information for many objects. This language information may then be used to generate language learning features.
