+# Silver Tongue
+
+> You arrive speaking pidgin; you leave with a silver tongue.
+
+A language-learning life game. You arrive in a new city knowing a few words and earn your living by understanding people. Every job, purchase and conversation happens in the language you're learning.
+
+The first course is Mandarin (HSK 1), in a Chinese city, explained in English.
+
+## Play in the terminal
+
+```sh
+npx silver-tongue
+```
+
+| Key | Does |
+|---|---|
+| `1`–`9` | choose from the menu, or pick a reply |
+| `w` | word help: look up a word from the last line |
+| `enter` / `⌫` | say / undo, when building a reply from tiles |
+| `esc` | back |
+| `q` | save and quit (from the menu) |
+
+Progress saves automatically to `~/.config/silver-tongue/<course>.json` (or under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, or `%APPDATA%` on Windows). If a save can't be read, it is kept next to it as `<course>.json.invalid-backup` and a new game starts. If saving fails, the game says so and plays on without saving.
+
+Needs Node 22 or newer. Source, issues and other ways to play: https://github.com/jamil314/silver-tongue
