  My Japanese Coach is a decent Japanese-learning "game" that is great for beginners who have never studied the language before. It starts out with a quiz to test your knowledge level, and it will start you off at the less... Read Full Review

  This game is great for people who want to learn Japanese, but it may not be right for everyone.

  "My Japanese Coach" is an educational game where you learn Japanese through reading lessons and playing mini-games. The game has a good system of ranking your status (ex. Preschooler, First Grader, etc.), so you can see ... Read Full Review
