User Rating: 9.5 | My Spanish Coach DS
Let me start by saying "Thank You Ubisoft." This was a great idea to bring a language learning program to the DS. Unlike hard to fallow audio tapes or the expensive language learning software for computers where you need to make time to sit down in front of a computer to learn; My Spanish Coach can go with you where ever you are and at your convenience pull it out and start learning. I have never taken any Spanish classes before so this is all new to me and this program has been working out for me great so far and people I know are impressed by my progress. The lessons are straight forward, simple, and most importantly tolerable. It never overloads you with too much information and it throws in some fun interactive games that help to reinforce the words into your memory. It also uses the DS's built in microphone so that you can hear if your saying the words properly. However some of my Spanish-speaking friends have found typos in the game but these finds were rare. I would find myself touching the screen to get through the lessons and menu screens because the button controls are at times a little frustrating or just not fast enough for me. However this is an overall well put together and layed out Spanish learning system and good reference source for anyone wanting to learn another language or to just brush up on it. I would strongly recommend this game, and hey it only takes a mere 15 minutes a day to do.
