About the Book

  • Have you read the Language Hunter's Kit, and are itching for more details?
  • Are you an experienced Language Hunter in one language, but looking for help branching out into others?
  • Are you confident at running games, but not so sure how you'd hunt that same information in a new language?
  • Are you ready to take your hunts beyond the basic Q&A conversations of Intermediate level?
  • Are you looking to form Hunting Packs in your own community?

The Language Hunter's Playbook is an iterative, ongoing document, presenting the best of what the Language Hunting community has to offer. Our best Set-ups, Roadmaps, and Rules for the languages and situations we've run into so far.

Explore curricula (what we language hunters call "Roadmaps") for a variety of languages; Spanish, French, German, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and more.

Play through common game Set-ups for the 7+ different Q&A conversations at Intermediate level, for kick-starting and driving through a Trading Game, and for exploring Advanced proficiency - the world of Storytelling!

Flex your mental muscles beyond spoon-fed games, through Set-ups just for hunting new language from fluent speakers, anywhere, anytime.

And welcome to the world of Language Hunters!
