Learn the Way Native Speakers Do
When immersed in a new culture, people learn new words as they go about their daily activities -- whether it's ordering coffee, reading a bus map, or finding a public bathroom. This natural approach to language acquisition is called Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and it's the foundation of Sheng Tian (升天).
No matter your native language, you can play Sheng Tian (升天) and learn terms in context. Translation is minimized, but you can always consult a dictionary after each level to check your understanding.
