Playing My French Coach for 15 to 20 minutes a day is all you need to become fluent in French, no matter your age. The simple touch screen interface lets you spend less time learning the game and more time learning French. 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.

Summary: Fairly good as a vocabulary builder
Comment: My French Coach is fine for learning new words. Early on in the sequence there are some lessons that impart new concepts, but at some point, it seems to morph into nothing more than a vocabulary builder totally void of any grammatical concepts or lessons. That's fine I guess. I had hoped for at least some sort of rudimentary lesson structure to build upon throughout the many, many levels which one can progress. It can't hurt you to spend time with this game. Just don't expect too much in the way of improving your grammatical skills.

Summary: Good learning experience
Comment: This game provides a good learning experience for the basics. It is possible to use it without gaining a great deal of French but with proper use it will give a good foundation. I will be studying French in France for 10 months and used this in combination with other tools to get a head start.

Summary: I've Never Spent so Much Time Learning
Comment: The lessons make sense, you can go at your own pace, and the mini-games used to reinforce the vocabulary are well thought out. I'm horrible at learning foreign languages, yet I feel I'm doing alright using this product. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this program will have me speaking French fluently any time soon, but it should make getting around France a little easier when I go.

Summary: A Great Gadget!
Comment: Not perfect, but a great gadget for review. My husband and I are enrolled in an elementary French class, and we also have bought language programs for our computers. My husband transferred the audio parts of the computer programs onto MP3s that we can listen to when we are out and about, but I found that this "My French Coach" makes a great additional gadget to review what I have learned.
I am not so sure that a person could *learn* French this way, but it is a fun program.
As far as am "on the go" translator/dictionary I have had trouble using it in the French class. It doesn't have everything! Still, I am finding it a nice additon to resources I already have.

Summary: Excellent 1 on 1 coaching
Comment: The games are great, lot of repetition, drilling and hearing the pronunciations are helpful. One of the recommendations that the game makes is that you also practice your new vocabulary outside of the game itself. It is not the easiest, but is worth the effort, especially when you start to understand the language.
