The Commons
The IMMERSE Commons is a place for playing games, connecting with your fellow learners, and building your vocabulary. Inside the Commons, you’ll find games like whack-a-word, pictionary, and more - and we’re always adding new games and features. Whether you’re aiming to speak Spanish, French, or English, our games will help you reach your language goals.
Our games are perfect for making new friends. Excited to hang out with learners of all languages and fluency levels? Join the Language Exchange in the public Commons, a space where all IMMERSE learners are welcome to drop in anytime.
Or if you can set up a private party with friends you’ve already made in IMMERSE by creating a private room and selecting Commons. Celebrate a milestone, throw a birthday party, or just set up a game night with your besties!
The Commons has games that can be played alone, too, as a fun way to learn new vocabulary words and review old ones.

Why We Include Learning Games
At IMMERSE, fun is always front and center. We know research shows that playfulness boosts language learning.
- Our brains are wired to learn language through social interaction. Games not only make language learning more fun, they make it more effective.
- Adding a physical dimension to vocabulary-building activities leads to faster learning and better retention, so we’ve included games that will challenge your reflexes.
- Learning through play reduces anxiety, especially when you’re using an avatar, and that improves learning outcomes.
Learning needs to be fun and learners need to be active.
Having access to our games 24/7 allows you to practice and experiment with the language you are learning in your IMMERSE lessons and beyond.
We know that repetition and reinforcement of target language concepts helps increase your fluency and ability to use language freely. This hands-on approach of practicing while doing is just another powerful tool on your learning journey.
