Premise:

You’re Duolingo, and you’ve been given a sentence to translate! 

Move around the level, looking for word bricks, signs, or people to speak with. 

‘Choose’ (press spacebar) a word brick to ’flip’ its meaning. ‘Chien’ flips to: ‘Dog’. 

Speak with a sprite to generate a bunch of word blocks (the words from the sentence it speaks) - then, you can ‘choose’ those! 

‘Signs’ are exactly like people. 

If you find a tree, you can ‘interact’ with it, and generate a word block. Same goes for any recognizable noun (might be a bonus feature)

Don’t choose wrong words! 

Try to translate all the phrases
