What our customer's say!

"Wow, TIMED flash cards!", I give this five stars, with the complete understanding that you, as a fluent Spanish-as-a-second-language speaker, will transcend all of the toys and techniques that brought you to your new and lofty estate. My Spanish Coach will seem like old hat and stale cheese in about a year, but right now, like me, you've got one or two academic years of book Spanish and, frankly, El Gordo y La Flaca (on Univision) leave you in the dust. You have help in your hands. And it's fun.

Enough rhapsody, what I really like about My Spanish Coach is the "Mastery Points" drills, especially the flash cards! Whoa, they've got a time limit! And you can do them over and over again, drilling with a variety of fast, timed tools such as word locator puzzles and whack-a-mole.

That means similar Spanish and English word meanings get linked together automatically by your own brain -- yes, you have language acquisition skills hard-wired in your skull; you learned English, didn't you? Whether the SPC developers stumbled onto this trick by accident, or designed it based on linguistic principles, my hat is off! I'm 64 and I've made progress I thought it was too late to make. Yes, America, I am smarter than a first grader :)

"Totally Awesome!!!!!", I've had this game for four days and I have learned a lot of new things and I'm on Lesson 22. Sometimes it gets frustrating when you keep pronouncing some words wrong.....but, hey, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!! Don't worry if you think you sound funny because once you learn the language you won't care if you sound funny or not....just that you can actually speak Spanish. But overall this is a great game and a fun way to learn another language.

"Very good game for learning the basics!", I got this game because I wanted to brush up on the limited Spanish I learned in High School years ago. It was a lot of fun to play and I found myself learning a lot of new vocabulary words as well as grammar rules. The games were a lot of fun to play and were actually very useful in learning the language. The only con I have with the game is that once you get to a certain level you no longer have formal lessons and only learn new vocabulary words. The game also does not include tenses of the verbs (i.e. past tense, present participle, etc.) at least I have not encountered it yet and I'm in the 40th lesson. I did enjoy, though, how at the beginning of the game you take an assessment to determine how far along in Spanish you are and the game takes you to the appropriate lesson you should be on.

In sum: this game is a lot of fun and I would definitely buy it if you want to learn the basics of the Spanish language, but don't expect fluency.

"Good for vocabulary and "hearing" Spanish", I've gotten back into trying to learn Spanish since purchasing this game. I'm not that crazy about most of the word games that come with it but I enjoy "word search" for some reason and I enjoy learning new words and then playing games with the "mastered" words to improve the quickness of my understanding the words when I hear them. It's good enough to keep me trying to learn more which is the point. Bridge-builder sucks. Why don't they include more complicated sentences to construct rather than the same ones over and over.

"fun but not useful for advanced learners", This is an amusing game and probably wonderful for beginners. Unfortunately there isn't really an advanced level.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great for the first 50 lessons, then a disaster.", I am a native English speaker who learned French last year. THis got me very excited about languages, and I decided I really wanted to learn Spanish. I thought this Spanish coach would be a great place to start. And I have to say, for the first 50 lessons, it is a fun and effective way to get into the language. However, after the first 50 lessons (they take maybe 8 hours to complete and to really feel like you've learned everything in them), the game goes into what it calls the "Open Lessons"). This is how it works:

Starting with lesson 51, you get 10 words per lesson to "master." You get no phrases, no conjugations, NO GRAMMAR. The words are seemingly chosen at random, though they are set in the game in that order, so you can't change it. I went through about 15 of these "Open Lessons" (there are I think 1,000 in the end!), and found them to be utterly ridiculous. Instead of learning useful vocabulary like "bird," you learn the word for "ORIOLE." Instead of "to say," you learn "to utter." Things like that. Essentially, you learn words that are not used in every day language. I kept doing the next lesson, certain that things would level out, but each lesson I was presented with words that I can't even imagine using even in English. I've read similar reviews to mine, and they were right.

I rarely leave online reviews for products, but I felt that I needed to say something about this game. It really isn't worth the money in the end, and it is a shame because if they put more time into this game they could be much better. I think the whole series follows this same formula. They really need to rework these games and re-release them. I sincerely hope they do!

"Very good.",
I think this title is very good, I definately increased my knowledge of Spanish. I completed 50 lessons. I am by no means 'fluent' because of this game, not even close, but definately learned a lot.

There are 8 different game types. Two of them, Flash Cards and Multiple Choice, are great for vocabulary. The 'Whack A mole' mini-game is modestly fun but once you know the word you're not really learning past that.

I think the best mini-game was one called 'Bridge Builder', where you actually make sentences. I really wish that aspect was emphasised more.

What makes this game great is the portability of the DS, plus the move-at-your-own-pace interaction.




"Great for increasing your Spanish vocabulary!", I took some Spanish in middle school and high school, so I knew just a little bit when I got the game - I wasn't totally in the dark, but close. I think the minigames are great fun! I actually wish there were a few more of them, for variety. They don't seem to really hammer the words into you for very long before moving onto the next lesson, but I've found myself retaining more vocabulary than expected.

The only thing I wish it had is more information on how to conjugate verbs. There is one game that asks you to spell the correct conjugations, but they never tell you up front how to do it - they just let you get it wrong! It is possible to pick up some information by playing it over and over and paying attention when you get corrected, but I would have loved having Correct Verb Conjugations as part of the reference. That's the only reason I'd give it 4 stars rather than 5.

I've had the game since last Christmas and I still find myself going back to it for learning and for fun! It's a great little diversion, and I feel like I'm expanding my vocabulary just a bit each day. That's a lot of benefit for $[...], well worth it!

"Good learning tool.", I bought this product to get back into Spanish that I had learned in grade and high school. Its great for learning some quick vocabulary and useful verbs to help you get around and find what you need if you were suddenly thrown into a Spanish-speaking country. I also purchased French coach, and only wish Nintendo would make more games like this for other languages.

"An interesting way to learn", I can absolutely see where many reviewers are coming from when they say this title is more entertainment for kids than a learning tool, but I would counter that the entertainment is where `My Spanish Coach' derives its learning. In university now, I took two years of Spanish during high school and (now at lesson #6) have learned more in the few hours playing this game than both previous years of formal education. As I see it, this is solely because the game shifts the learning atmosphere from just memorizing words to becoming familiar and coherent in the words purpose and meaning.

All-in-All, Absolutely worth a try, and well worth the $30 investment. I can't wait for the Chinese version... hoping for a Arabic.
