Blather

Blather is a Match-3 language learning game. You play as a translator helping customers who are waiting in lines. Click on a customer and they will say a phrase. Pick the correct translation and they leave happy. Pick wrong or take too long, and the lines start to fill up. If the lines get too long, it's game over.

Each customer has a topic, shown as a number. When customers with the same topic end up next to each other, they all get cleared at once and you score bonus points.

Never Studied the Language? No Problem.

Every answer choice has a hint button. Click it and you will hear the phrase spoken in your native language. Check all the hints and you will definitely find the right answer. But hints take time, and customers are waiting. The more phrases you memorize, the faster you can clear the lines.
