I haven't tried them myself, but the three "Learn Japanese To Survive" games are available for £2.19 (not sure of dollar value) at Fanatical.com. You get Steam keys for the 3 games, plus for some DLC (art, soundtrack, flashcards, study guide).

I don't know anything about them really, but at that price I picked them up regardless for research into what other people are doing with tech right now. Plus of course my own stalled language learning includes elementary Japanese, so it's a win-win.

Offer available until the 18th/19th of June (depending on where you are in the world).

Edit: I did buy them myself, and I've played one for about an hour. My reaction's pretty much "meh". As a tutor, I prefer Slime Forest Adventure, and I'll probably try to do a proper review/comparison at some point. Still, can't complain at this price.

Short Audio Only Courses: Paul Noble and Michel Thomas.

1) There is a current sale in Audible.co.uk (British site), and it includes Paul Noble's courses. You can get each at around £5-6, so the basic and advanced courses come together at around £12 or less per language. Totally worth it, considering how expensive Michel Thomas is. Make sure you buy the Complete Courses, not the ones divided into parts (Part 1, 2, and 3).

2) Also, if you have an iOS device you can get the Michel Thomas' Insider's Courses from Amazon.co.uk for just £3.99 in the electronic version (Kindle book). You cannot listen to the audio using an Android device, it needs to be "on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices." I am using an iPad, and it works. This course usually retails at $75 in Michel Thomas' official website, so it is a super good deal.

Enjoy!

Cheap access to Transparent Language.
From now until the 15th (I think) of September, there's a bundle over at Humble Bundle containing a bunch of Transparent's courses.

For about $1 (US) you can get three months' access to Korean, Portuguese and Arabic. As somewhere around $12, that goes up to 6 months, and you also get Chinese, German and French. The top tier ($20) moves it all up to a one year subscription, and throws in Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Swahili and Hebrew.

It's a long time since I've looked at Transparent, and I always thought it was very much "meh", but I'm kind of tempted to pay a dollar and then blitz through the Arabic...

Since you are in the UK you might want to check your library. Mine gives free access to all the transparent languages with just my library card login.
