I was extremely excited to give this game a try, as not only is it an excuse to use my VR headset, but it's also an excuse to start learning a new language (Japanese). I'm only 10 words in and taking it slow so that I can really memorize the sound and pronunciation as it relates to the thing. With that being said, the interactivity element really makes this game a cut above other language learning options. It's kind of therapeutic in a way- to walk around quizzing yourself on various objects that you've learned. There are also minigames interspersed to help make sure you're remembering the pronunciation.

Two comments for the dev team:
1. I know this game is called Noun Town, but this game already captures a fraction of what an even bigger language learning game/tool could be able to do. It might be a pipe dream, but it'd be so helpful if there were language specific grammar lessons and foreign character learning (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji/Hanzi). For now I will need to outsource that learning to other mediums, but if that could be integrated into Noun Town that would be phenomenal.

2. There has been some feedback from others about pronunciation not being picked up properly. I've had this problem with 1 word so far, however, I think there is value in knowing that I am not pronunciating something properly, so I'd definitely suggest prioritizing somebody learning the right pronunciation over giving them a pity star. Maybe allow somebody to manually override a word if there is a bug, but otherwise I don't want 'success feedback' if the vocal system couldn't pick up my word after the 3rd attempt.

I look forward to continuing to learn new words!
