The Occitan Language Study & Review Game

The Occitan Language Study & Review Game

What do you know about the langue d'oc?
What does it have to do with France? What about Spain? The French Revolution?
Test what you know and learn even more in this version of PacMan- with an educational twist!

Work through the levels by a combination of gameplay and questions about Occitan's political, geographical, and cultural background. See what new methods teachers are using in the classroom to help Occitan grow. With each passing level, the stakes become higher and the questions more numerous. Don't forget to keep an eye on the scoreboard to see who else has played in the past hour!

Not a PacMan buff? Don't worry- you earn more lives by answering the questions!

"Cric, cric,
Mon conte es finit.
Cric, crac,
Mon conte es acabat."
"Cric, cric,
My story is over.
Cric, crac,
My story is done."
*Common finishing lines in Occitan oral tradition
