Influent is great to learn the basic to advanced vocabulary of a new language. In a 3D environment, a house, you freely interact with items to know their word, pronounciation and others. You can add them to your learning word-list whenever you want and in the order you want. When you are ready you can choose a page of 10 words to begin learning them. You can set up everything including pronounciation and word display. Then you need to find and click on the related item randomly chosen in the 10 word-list, the timer is also here to show you if you're good enough or not. The aim of the game is to master every word, 420 in total, including nouns, adjectives and verbs from items to child's items. The game also immerse you in the real enrvironment as your native's translation of each items is hidden but you can always see it in your word list by clicking on the red eye.

When you start a game you choose the language you want to learn, so there is an independent save for each language and you can create several save for a same language I guess. Also for the asian languages you can choose to learn with PINYIN or ideogram, after the choice made you can't switch it in game so you need to make two game sessions.
