Mythology-Themed Video Games to Help You Learn Greek Online

Learn Greek Online

Learning new material is easier and more interesting when lessons include topics students already enjoy. Playing video games may not initially sound closely connected to studying a new language. However, there are several video games available that immerse students in Greek mythology, which Greek learners need at least some knowledge of to fully understand the language. Playing these games as you learn Greek online teaches essential cultural concepts that directly connect to Greek terminology and help students build meaningful, personal connections to their new language from their first lesson.

Combine Video Games and Classes to Learn Greek Online

Gaining an in-depth knowledge of a new language requires more than simply memorizing words and translations. Online language instruction should be supplemented by learning about the culture of the people who speak the language in order to obtain a thorough understanding of its context.

Traditional foods, literature, art, and other topics are helpful aspects of absorbing any language, and learning about Greek mythology is a crucial element of understanding both Greek culture and the genre’s impact on how the Greek language has evolved over time. Several popular video games are set in the world of Greek mythology and enjoying these games while studying Greek provides this essential cultural element.

Video Games That Incorporate Greek Mythology

Certain video games can provide a surprisingly educational introduction to Greek culture. Here are three of our top picks that utilize concepts of Greek mythology!

Hades

Nintendo Switch players can take on the role of Hades’s son Zagreus in this new action-packed game. Hades introduces players to both iconic and lesser-known figures within Greek mythology as they battle their way to Mount Olympus.

 

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Each game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise places players in the center of the action of various points in history. Odyssey, the latest Assassin’s Creed game, gives players the opportunity to interact with various mythological creatures during the Peloponnesian War. From Atlantis to the Underworld, Odyssey is packed with the places and beings that Greek language students need to know. 

Horizon Zero Dawn

This innovative game builds connections between Greek mythology and the modern world. Horizon Zero Dawn brings the classic hero’s journey format that forms the basic plot of most Greek myths into the future and features new characters with well-known mythological names and personalities.

LanguageBird’s Online Greek Classes 

Our online language classes take a more comprehensive approach to learning than traditional memorization. Our 1-to-1 Greek instructors follow a competency and project-based learning model that immerses students in supplemental concepts that allow them to form connections to the words and phrases they learn. Working video games and other activities that interest students in our private lessons allow them to use concepts they are familiar with to deepen their understanding of new material.  

At LanguageBird, we incorporate a nontraditional arsenal of tools to make learning Greek and a variety of other languages enjoyable for students.
