A lot of online games have a chat component to them so while not in-person in the strictest sense it's probably educational in some way. I learned English selling and buying stuff in RuneScape and I know a lot of my friends did too.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoEve Online is essentially training for careers in finance, logistics, corporate management and international politics. And I'm being serious here. That outlier aside, you raise a good point about language - I too learned my English mostly through videogames. Single-player, story-rich videogames, which hooked me enough to play them with a dictionary on hand. I learned most of my vocabulary trying to understand the games' lores and navigate dialogues.
