My Spanish Coach for the Nintendo DS is a fun way to improve your ability to understand, pronounce and speak Spanish. I think having a basic background in it helps because you have a general understand of some words and concepts. The game functions this way - first you take an exam judging how much Spanish you identify so it can determine what stage to begin you at. So for instance if you already know months, seasons and numbers.. the game will skip those lessons and encompass them into the learning process which sometimes isn't always great because you might still be a little weak in those areas. Each lesson introduces you to new words or ...  Read the complete review

My Spanish Coach for the Nintendo DS is a brilliant educational game ideal for people who have never learned Spanish before or those who want to brush up on the basics. The best thing about it is it is fun. Learn the language basics by working through over 50 lessons and playing 8 touchpad mini games tracking your progress along the way with the on screen performance charts. Each lesson begins by giving you a list of words in English alongside which is a button to press to see and hear the Spanish translation. You can also compare your pronunciation by using the built in mic recording what you say and playing it back alongside the correct Spanish ...  Read the complete review

In 2007, I moved to Spain knowing pretty much "Hola". Worried about this and a keen Nintendo DS fan I looked for a way to learn on the go. My Spanish Coach is a great way to do this, on the bus, train or plane you can pickup this game and carry on learning from where you left off! The vocabulary and phrases are extremely useful, also with its limited dictionary the most common words are there to translate.

Given that this is only the 1st edition you are given nearly 10,000 words and 700 phrases, I found this a great start in the 2 years I stayed ...  Read the complete review

Let me just start by saying that this is by no means for anyone just starting to learn Spanish. If you are going to buy the game, if you can call it that, then it's probably best if you at least have a grounding in Spanish before you even start this game up. This isn't to say that it isn't a useful 'game' to have. I just feel that the way it teaches is a little basic to be able to just pick it up straight off the bat. If you are intending to learn Spanish directly from the game, then you're going to have to put in a lot of work. However, if you do have prior knowledge of the Spanish language then this game is perfect for refreshers, or if you're wanting to ...  Read the complete review
