Koreans get powderful with StarCraft English

Pfwah! Their england very powderful one!
No doubt about it, playing games is one of the best (and fun) ways to absorb knowledge. Spencer from Siliconera reports that a publisher from South Korea has capitalized on the manic love of Starcraft among his countrymen to introduce an English language training book called Starcraft English.
Now this is super because Starcraft was only released in English in Korea. I’m sure this book can help gamers increase their vocabulary and grasp of the language and also allow them to gain a deeper appreciation of the game, as almost everything within it: names of units, audio dialogue, jokes, menus, even copyright information, has been picked apart and elaborated upon.
Well, if more schools implement playing games as a way to learn a subject, I’m sure students will be more excited about their education. There’s Law 101: Ace Attorney, but how about Medal of Honor History or Tony Hawk Physics?
