2.0 out of 5 stars A wasted opportunity..., 24 Jul 2008
By Mr. M. Robertson (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
I've been learning Spanish for the last couple of years and have completed a night class and various other language courses. I have an extensive collection of books, cd's etc and was really looking forward to using my DS to pick up some Spanish in my spare time.

My Spanish Coach - Intermediate isn't actually what you'd imagine it to be. Rather than being a more advanced version of the My Spanish Coach - Beginner, it's a Spanish translation of My Word Coach, an English language vocabulary building game. There really is nothing of an intermediate nature about it. You don't learn any intermediate topics at all: verb conjugation of the subjunctive, how to use different sentence structures, etc.

You learn vocabulary by playing 6 mini games, half of which are reasonably fun and half of which are rather dull. I really, really wanted to like this game but unfortunately there are just too many things that it misses the mark on. It's incredibly annoying because the concept of using a DS to learn a foreign language is brilliant - but somehow they've totally screwed it up.

First, and most importantly, word genders are omitted entirely - so you have no idea whether a word is masculine or feminine. This is absolutely vital in Spanish language!
There is no mention of whether the word is a noun, verb, etc. and no sample sentences are given on the context the word can be used in.

These are things that any serious Spanish text book provides. All the game does is throw more and more words at you every day. Words are not grouped into sensible categories so you never know what you're going to get next.

There is no real structured learning. You never have a chance to learn and review the words first before being tested on them. You only get to see what words mean after you've completed the games. This approach might have worked reasonably well in the English version of My Word Coach, but we're dealing with a foreign language here so everything needs to be clearly explained beforehand.

What they should have done is given you a number of words each day to learn and then test yourself on in the mini games, and once you've learned those you should move onto the next set of words.

There are errors in some of the word translations. For example, `trance' is translated as being a kind of music, when in fact the most common usage of it means `dazed, unconscious' etc. Some of the translations are technically correct but rather weak, and you only ever get one definition, when some commonly used words might have more than one.

It's not so much that the game is terrible, it's just that it should have been absolutely amazing because it's so clear that the DS is perfectly suited to learning a foreign language. I hope that they do another version in the future that fixes all of the faults I've mentioned.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty weak attempt at teaching Spanish, 7 Feb 2008
By Steven Brown - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this game thinking that it would be pretty helpful in developing my Spanish vocab, and somewhat along the lines of the "Brain Age" series.

Instead, it's just random word games for you to try. When you complete a certain amount each day, you get upgraded in classification. But you learn very little - I found it frustrating that the classification is just the accumulation of points. It's not the Brain Age thing of doing a spot check on your knowledge, and grading you based on that - it really is just playing enough games on one day, and getting enough ticks to pass.

Half the games do nothing to actually link the words in your mind - i.e. there is a tetris game which makes you form words from the dropping letters. However, there is no definition, or need for you to know what the word means. It's just, well, like tetris...
Unless you look at the vocab after it, you won't learn it - and I can do that just as well out a book.

very unimaginative, and deeply disappointing. Avoid.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spanish Level 2, 1 Feb 2008
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is not what i thought it would be like - i thought that improving spanish it would be teaching you to contruct sentences and also helping conjugate verbs. Its more of random games that arent really helpful to learn spanish. Its fun for about ten minutes then becomes fustrating. I would not reccomend
