My life will never be the same from now on

[Delphine]

I changed my 3DS' and therefore my game's langage to English. It's just so weird playing AC in another langage! I bought several copies of Pok?mon in the UK (Platinum and White 2), I did learn some words, but it's really bizarre with AC.
And I just learned a new word: 'racks'. It's making me super happy. Oh and, 'meantime'. Yeah, big deal, big deal.

Ever tried playing ACNL in another langage? c:

I never tried it. I guess that would be under "Settings?" My husband is from the Netherlands but he always discourages me from learning Dutch. I don't know why - he just says that it would be a waste of time. But I think that if Dutch (or Nederlands, as they call it) would be fun for me to learn and then I could speak to his surviving family members in their own language, at least a little.

It's a great idea. Now, I'd have to see if Nederlands is a language available on the US 3DSXL. I would think so.

I'm glad you started this thread.

Well, technically I always play video games on another languages, my native language is Spanish, but I always play on English, I feel quite off when playing something on spanish, specially pokemon, I dont know which attack is which.

Watching movies/TV shows or playing video games you already know a bit is a great way to learn a new langage, in my opinion!
Good luck learning Dutch if you evenually decide to do it, and thanks for the nice feedback!

Yeah, it's sometimes complicated to switch back to your native language, I had a hard time with Pok?mon attacks as well, because I watched wifi battles on YT from American folks and I just couldn't tell what the French equivalent was x)

I play in Spanish ^^
But some of the words are a bit confusing lmao

You have to go in your 3DS' settings, you can select the langage, it'll change your ACNL copy's langage as well :3

 

[Autumnia]

My first language is swedish and my boyfriends english so as a joke I switched his ps vita into swedish (the settings that is) and he actually kept it cus he said it's helping him learn, even though the vocabulary may be a bit game-oriented

I have played in English, French and German and oh my god I cannot be bothered learning 3 sets of names for every. Single. Item. - Furniture, fish, bugs, clothes, those are the big ones.

I'd played ACWW all in English until then so I knew most of the English names of items, so when it came to doing Gracie's fashion check in another language and working out what I needed to order from the catalogue, I couldn't do it and mainly went back to English from then on.

Delphine I commend you for trying out the game in a new language!

 

[Bcat]

Since I'm learning french maybe one day I'll try playing in that.

 

[LambdaDelta]

can i play in glorious nihon or are american 3ds' too casual for that

 

[AobaCake]

Would the dlc change with langauge ?

 

[LambdaDelta]

pretty sure the dlc is set based on your region the system is connecting from, and not the language

 

[Teru]

DLC is based on your 3DS's region. It doesn't matter what language you play in or which country you're in.
But with different languages you can get different in-game items such as the New Year items from Isabelle. And I think dates of stuff like Mothers Day changes?

 

[FireNinja1]

I have never played a video game that was not an NA copy unless it was my desperate attempt to find something I want on the Apple App Store. Nor I have I ever changed the language (I did once actually on another game to make the game easier, but it was proven to be a myth). So no.

 

[Wholockian]

I may start playing in German... I need to learn that 0-0

I can't remember who, but someone actually told me that changing the langage/region was a way to have special stuff like the berliner

Wow all those langages! Congrats! And thank you

 

[Campy]

Haha, it's always been the opposite for me! I'm Dutch, but I always play my games in English. When I was young, Dutch usually wasn't even an option so I had no choice there, but even though Dutch has frequently become an option in recent years, I never use it; it looks really weird to me.

Looking back now, I'm really glad I gew up with English games since it gave me a huge headstart in high school. And more importantly, it's allowed me to communicate with people from all over the world from a pretty young age. And I'm still learning, too. I always enjoy learning new words.

One of the most recent words I've learned is "ascribe". Really handy word, too!
