I saw these on a flash memory comercial, they said "learn a new language". They look cool and i was wondering if anyone recommends them and, if so, what language?

I played My French Coach and My Word Coach. Even though I usually like word and vocabulary building games, I found these to be quite boring. Some of the minigames are fun though.

I have the Spanish version. It's an OK game, not great though. It gives you a multiple choice test in the beginning to see how much you already know then it starts you out on whatever level you get. Then it gives you lessons and you play games to see what you learned.

I actually haven't gotten too far, I just got it for Christmas, but I think you would be able to speak the basics. It's not the same as taking 4 years of Spanish.

If you ever need a really good Japanese Hiragana/Katana and Kanji dictionary (it actually does a bit more than just being a dictionary), get Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten (That's the title of it.....if I remember correctly :P).

It has pretty much every single Kanji (ok maybe not EVERY single one, but there's a lot of them).
