I'm liking the Spanish Coach for DS. It does a good job of evaluating where you are with the language and not starting me where it's too easy or too hard. It uses the DS capabilities well, and is fairly fun and easy to use. How far it takes me in the language remains to be seen, but it certainly will take me to the next level. I have noticed a minor glitch, where after mastering a set of words through games, and making it clear that I have mastered those words, it says I have mastered 0 out of 10. But this doesn't affect progressing, so I would consider it a minor glitch.
Don't expect this game to teach you to be completely fluent in Spanish, but it is good for what it is. This game can teach you how to say basic conversations and improve your vocabulary, but learning a new language requires you practicing EVERYDAY (in your head and out loud) and with multiple outlets (watch Spanish speaking tv stations or educational videos, listen to Spanish speaking music, talk to spanish speakers, etc) and learning NEW things about it everyday.. this game only has so much it can to do help you with that. But if you do practice it at least 15 - 30 minutes a day you can definitely learn and retain knowledge on basic conversation. If you are taking a Spanish class for school, this game is very good and fun thing to do to learn and retain some basic conversation and vocabulary.Read full review
I bought game to try learning Spanish in my mid-50's. It is user friendly and seems to have a broad range of vocabulary. I found it to be one tool towards learning Spanish. Supplemental books and other learning tools are necessary to get a grasp on speaking the language. It is fun and has different games to apply the learned words. It also pronounces the words which helps for the speaking aspect of the language, so I highly recommend a set of earbuds to use when playing the game.
My Spanish Coach for Nintendo DS is a wonderful way to review spanish for those who might not have used the language for a whiel. It is great for beginners as well. I bought it because I am studieing to become a translator and I thought it would be helpful. It quickly helps me to memorize words and it has a lot of other featurs that are benificial too, such as the dictionary!It has fun chanlenging games that you can set to however easy or hard you want it to be. I gets right to teaching and dosn't beat around the bush and I like that! When you first begin it gives you a short placement test that lets you know what level you are at. It helps you learn spanish words, sentence structure and has 1'000 lessons,10'000 words and 700 phrases. You can also record your voice saying a word in spanish and play it back with the game saying it at the same time to compare your pronouciation and accent. Its a great adition to your spanish books and a really good studie help for anyone who is seriouse about trying to learn another language, or just wants to be formiliar with it. Now it won't teach you every thing you need to learn about the spanish language but it is a grat start! If your still not sure about it rent one from a place like block buster or a game rental place online and try it for your self, or you could barrow your friends. My Spanish Coach for Nintendo DS is great, I don't feel like I wasted my money because I know its something I can always use or pass on once I master the language! Check it out!Read full review
OMG!!! I LOVE this game. The game starts out with a pre-test to see how much spanish you already know, and places you. This is a fun interactive game that allows you to hear the translated words outloud, allows you to record your spanish words and compare them to the recorded spanish. Awesome. Its clear, easy, and effective in helping the player remember words, phrases, and numbers with audio and visual clarity. My 8 year old grandson loves this game also. I didn't know learning spanish could be so fun. Warning, it is very addictive and hard to put down. I spent four hours the first night playing this. My daughter tried this game on my Nintendo DS and now intends to buy the game system as well as "My Spanish Coach". It is well worth the money. I highly recommend it.
