Cyphernaut - Months of the Year Match Game
The rules for this Flash game are pretty simple. Just drag the month of the year box on the left hand side to the correct English month of the year box on the right hand side. If the choice is correct, the English right hand box will turn green, a chime will sound and the player will be unable to move the month of the year box anymore. If the choice is wrong, a buzzer will sound and the month of the week box will return to its starting position on the left hand side. Use the combo box to select another language and the month of the year boxes will reset to the left hand side. The player must then again match the month of the year box to the correct English word representation on the right hand side. Please note that the order of the month of the year boxes on the left hand side is shuffled with every new language selection. The English month of the year on the right hand side are always in fixed order starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday. Languages covered in this game include English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese(Simplified), Japanese and Korean.
Pronunciation guides for each word are also provided for Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. If the language is Russian, the stressed syllable appears in enclosed brackets.
Example: cloud -> облако (<ob>-la-ka). The ob is stressed.
*Important Note : It may be necessary to install support for East Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The following links provide instructions for installing East Asian languages on a computer running Windows so that the games will properly display Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
It's interesting to note that months in Chinese, Japanese and Korean are prefaced by the numbers one through twelve starting with month 1, January and ending with month 12, December. To learn Chinese, Japanese and Korean numbers 0-10, play the Numbers Flashcards game.
