Summary: Wow, TIMED flash cards!
Comment: 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 :)

Summary: Totally Awesome!!!!!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Very good game for learning the basics!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good for vocabulary and "hearing" Spanish
Comment: 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.

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

Playing My Spanish Coach for 15 to 20 minutes a day is all you need to become fluent in Spanish, no matter your age. The simple touch screen interface lets you spend less time learning the game and more time learning Spanish. The game includes 8 touchpad mini-games to sharpen your skills at your own pace, and lets you track your progress with charts showing your performance learning the language. ESRB Rated E for Everyone.
