Unacceptable mispronunciations! Ridiculous vocabulary!

Although this game is fun at first, after a while I started to realize that even though the pronunciations sounded as though done by a native speaker, some of them are so off as to be laughable! For example the word "ratio" is pronounced "ratito" by the speaker! "Utensilios" is pronounced "UNtensilios", and so on. And why would one wish to learn the word for "sliver" ("astillo") without having first learned the word for "little" ("poco") or other size-oriented words first? Not recommended! The mispronunciations are totally unacceptable for a language program.

Great way to learn Spanish!

I LOVE "MY SPANISH COACH!" I am 46 and took my last Spanish class way back in high school. I am now trying to brush up on my Spanish (which I had all but forgotten). MY SPANISH COACH rocks! The lessons are great and the games really keep you engaged. I had been using Rosetta Stone (which is also a great product), but extremely expensive in comparison to MY SPANISH COACH. Also, with MY SPANISH COACH, I find myself genuinely looking forward to learning each new lesson and unlocking each new game -the games REALLY reinforce the new material presented in each lesson and are really quite fun. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to learn or brush up on their Spanish!

I've always loved languages so I naturally picked this game up. I just got this game and so far it seems like fun and I can see how in the future it can be helpful. I only have two complaints. The first is about the placement test at the beginning. They show you 50 words (really really simple words) such as months, days, and numbers then ask you to match them. Easy enough. But, a little too easy. I got all 50 right and they put me on the preschool level which is good for review but I'm much more advanced than learning greetings! So I wish the placement test was more comprehensive and challenging so I could find my true level at the moment. The next complaint would be Word Searches! I don't see how you learn anything from finding vocabulary words in a word search and how finding all of them somehow means you "mastered" those vocab words..but oh well.

This is a good game overall and I am looking forward to the more challenging things to come. After a few minutes of playing this I was already hoping they would come out with more in other languages!

Not that Spanish isn't a fun language. But my son is 11 and taking a foreign language in middle school wasn't exactly his idea of fun. BUT NOW IT IS!!! I can't believe that he actually ENJOYS learning Spanish by playing the games and practicing on his DS with "My Spanish Coach." A great concept very well executed. I knew there had to be more constructive uses for the DS besides games. ;-) (Just kidding. The games are great, too!)

It's work for me, FINALLY!!!

I would give 100,000 stars on this game. It helped me lot. None of Spanish books, or Spanish programs for computer ever helped me.
This is recommend for everyone!

I din't expect much when I purchased this game, but I am pleasantly surprised! It's great for a beginner like me and I am really enjoying it! They need to make a sequel so we can advance beyond this game!

For children only

My Spanish Coach was very dissappointing, although it might be because I am adult. It is definitely designed only for children which is not necessarily a bad thing. This game rewards "points" for silly achievements and not for any kind of real learning. The games themselves are structured poorly for understanding or memory and are more focused on playing with the toy. It is definitely a more educational game than most, but not something to be taken seriously for learning Spanish.

I thought this game would be useless after buying it ready for a holiday in Mexico but in the first day I was able to count and knew certain phrases and learned spanish for certain colours etc etc. It's fun to play and for this reason it helps remembering what you learn so much easier. I would advise buying this,certainly if you want to learn the basics of Spanish.

Fun, but not too informative.

The games are fun, but I wish it would review the basics more. The first thing the game does is test what you already know with a few questions. Then it places you on a specific level. For instance, since I know some numbers and greetings, it placed me on a level which covered lessons #1-12, but doesn't show what those lessons are in case I want to go back and review. All I can say I've learned so far is that "helado" means ice cream.

fun way to learn and hear spanish

This is fun for me as an adult to hear the words in Spanish and to hear my voice record the words I say in Spanish. It has lots of fun games to learn the words before moving to the next level. As an adult learning Spanish, I'm having fun with this game.
