Found a new language practice app!
Polygloss has you describe an image in your target language so another player can guess it. It encourages creative answers. The game works for people of all levels — you can describe simple pictures or try your hand at wordplay.
It has plenty of options and will let you add any language you’d like — tho it’ll probably be more difficult to find people to play with.
