The coach doesn't show as much emotion or movement as others, but it is still very fun to learn. I am compelled to go on, just to unlock a new game or challang myself with accomplishing a harder level of a game. I can compare my words with another, I can write the word with the accents on the letters, and I can already put together sentences with a new game. I love my coach, from Japanese to French to Spanish to Chinese; it is always fun.

It's very easy to get started with these games. They are appropriate for any age capable of understanding the directions and begin, as most classes do, with the basics: days, numbers, seasons, weather, nouns, etc. The games are fun and unlocks to new games come moderately fast. The only downside is the games and lessons aren't as customizable as I would like to have seen, but that's only pertinent if you have some background in the language before you start. I'd give the game a very solid B+.
I bought this to help me learn French. I went to France last year and could speak very little French. So---there was my motivation. Besides they don't help you much to understand their language. Although, I am learning a lot, it should start off with the alphabet and vowel sounds. You jump right into learning words. The compare feature is great, with the voice recording so you can work on your accent.
I really like this game, especially the multiple choice tests and the other games. But it's frustrating that the game requires so many points to get to the new lessons. They should have really put if a noun is feminine or masculine so I know how to say/write the adjectives. I think a highschooler in France knows more words than when at the end of the game when you earn the "highschooler" title. The game should compare the player's voice and the game's speakers voice more precisely, like for example if the word was pronounced right. Nice game overall but could have been better.
Normally a language tape/game/CD teachs you the most commen phrases needed in the language so you can get by. The more you continue to use the tape/game/CD, the more of the language you learn. However, this is like taking high school french. Tp start with you will learn your numbers and the "game" refuses to allow you any access to any other words until it is convinced you know your numbers. Then it forces you to learn the days of the week and again, until you convince the game you know then, you cannot learn anything else. After you've suffered through the laborist task of learing numbers, days of the week, months of the year and colors then you must learn the french the whole, it the lamp post male or female, le post or la post. It's is so tedious and completely rediculous it's like being in Jr. High but your french book has been taped shut so you can see the other pages until you've completed the existing assignment. Unless you are committed to learning the entire french language from beginning to end, DON'T BUY THIS PROGRAM. I wish I hadn't!Read full review
