About this product

Product Information

Turn a Nintendo DS into a mobile Japanese tutor with My Japanese Coach. This application from Ubisoft makes learning the Japanese language a fun and engaging process. A single-player game, it includes a large number of entertaining lessons and lots many mini-games. It is part of the larger Nintendo DS My Coach series of games and had a 2008 release date. This Nintendo DS game is full of fun features designed to make learning Japanese a breeze. For example, the Flash Cards feature plays audible Japanese words. The player then has a couple of seconds to select the correct English translation. Bridge Builder asks the player to build meaningful sentences. There are 12 of these game features in total. Word Search and Whack-a-Mole are two of the most popular games. All lessons are carefully structured, and there are 1,000 of them altogether. The emphasis is on interactive learning as opposed to rote memorization. A skilled user can learn around 10,000 Japanese words and 1,500 phrases. Each lesson has information on grammar, sentence structure, usage, and more. To ensure they are pronouncing words correctly, players use the microphone on the DS. Their pronunciation is paired against that of a native speaker. You can compare how you say a word to how it really should be spoken. You can then compare entire phrases once you have mastered individual words. In addition to speech, the language games also guide the user through the basics of writing Japanese. Stroke order is broken down in detail. Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji characters are all covered. Using a stylus on the touch screen hardware allows players to practice writing. They start with the simple tracing of characters and slowly progress in complexity. Gamers keep track of their progress as they advance to higher levels. The game is simple to play with no complicated rules to learn. To add to the fun, a digital coach named Haruka interacts with users to encourage them. She even uses hand and body motions to help you learn. If you know a bit of Japanese already, you can take the game's placement test. It allows you to enter the game according to your existing skill level.The game has numerous cultural and geographical components. Users travel through virtual displays of Japan, from Tokyo to the countryside. Useful hints for travelers to the country are included as well. There is a soundtrack of traditional Asian music that helps build cultural awareness. Unlike many other video games, the music is enjoyable and rich without getting annoying or insistent. Furthermore, this Nintendo video game has a Japanese language dictionary as a reference tool. It contains over 12,000 individual words and also has a number of helpful phrases. Learners can start with an English word or phrase and check its equivalent in Japanese. My Japanese Coach is terrific for children learning a new language. It's also great for adults who want fun reinforcement of existing or new skills. Playing this game allows you to travel to Japan with more confidence.

Great game
I previously had this game & loved it. It's a great game to start learning a new language I really love it! I wish nintendo would come out with newer versions of these games.

A great tool for a really great value.
This is a really great product for anyone that has little to no knowledge of the Japanese language, and who would like to sort of "start from the ground up" so to speak. It has numerous mini-games to help you with learning your words, and the part I like most about this game is that you have to master all the words in your current lesson and previous lessons before you can go on to the next ones, so no skipping around and getting confused! This also ensures you learn things in the proper order. One not so great feature is the opening placement test, to see how much Japanese you already know. Based on how well you do, you may skip a few of the beginning lessons (there are about 1000 lessons total). I skipped the first four lessons originally, but I deleted that game after completing only ...

This also ensures you learn things in the proper order. One not so great feature is the opening placement test, to see how much Japanese you already know. Based on how well you do, you may skip a few of the beginning lessons (there are about 1000 lessons total). I skipped the first four lessons originally, but I deleted that game after completing only one lesson, and decided to fail the placement test on purpose in my new file so I would not skip a single lesson. Trust me you will want to do this as well unless you know a fair amount of Japanese vocab words. The problem here is it assumes, based on words you get right in the placement test, that you know other similar words, when you may not. It also then changes the status of the skipped lesson words to mastered, even if you have no idea what the words mean. An example being, I knew words like anime, manga, hello, a few random colors I guessed at, etc. and it bumped me ahead 4 lessons, but it also assumed I knew all the days of the week, a few numbers and others I didn't know at all. So do yourself a favor, if you are really set on learning everything you can from this game, and fail the placement test on purpose. Other than that so far the game has been great. I have learned loads of things already and because you repeat the words so often and in so many different forms they really do get drilled into your head. Practicing things in real life is also fun and helps you learn as well. There are numerous mini-games too, some more helpful for certain things than others, to help you master your words. Other features, in the lessons themselves, helped enormously in my understanding of the Japanese writing system, and these were things that I picked up on my own, they were not actual lessons (at least not in the beginning of the game). There are numerous other features that can help you if you take the game traveling to Japan, which allows the game to dual as a portable Japanese phrase book and dictionary. These expansive and well organized features alone are worth the price of the game, and they are only a side feature! The music does get repetitive after a while, but since you will only be doing one or two lessons a day it is not intolerable. One important thing to mention is to make sure you do the lessons while you are alert and awake! Don't do them late at night when you are tired, and make sure you are getting plenty of sleep! Sleep is when you brain really works it's magic on things you learn throughout your day and if you don't get enough it won't matter how good of a program you are using to learn from, you won't be able to remember things. And remember, real fluency in a language generally takes years of school study and practice, so don't expect to be able to fluently speak Japanese when you have completed this game. However, for being only a game, it will teach you a vast amount of things, and you will be well on your way to being fluent, especially if you use this game in conjunction with actual Japanese classes. I give it a 4/5.

A good jump-start
There are tons of reviews of this game mainly concerned with the errors in stroke order for learning the Japanese characters. Of course this is a legitimate concern. The game also has a few minor glitches--sometimes buttons don't quite work as you expect, and in one or two lessons the game seems to introduce a topic and then not go on to explain it. These are legitimate concerns, and if you are looking to learn (and write) proper Japanese, you're going to need more than a DS game, let's be honest. But as far as getting a jump-start into recognizing and being able to read the kana and build up basic vocabulary, this is great. The games have a way of ingraining the characters and words into your brain much faster and much less tediously than flash cards or lists. After two days, I can ...

After two days, I can comfortably (if slowly) read hiragana, and am very excited to be continuing on.

Good game, but only for reinforcement
I bought this game to learn japanese. I have been self learning japanese on and off for the past 4 years due to juggling with school and studying a separate language(latin) at the same time which made it difficult. This is a good game to supplement learning Japanese, I wouldn't suggest buying in the hopes of learning the whole language. It's actually very easy to pass the levels without actually learning all of the words. I have "mastered"all of the colors according to the game, but in reality i only remember the ones I knew before i got this game. So if you're not very disciplined, you wont get very far. I wish it would have tests throughout the game, which would truly test your knowledge of the language, rather than word search.I still enjoy this game, it's great to use as a ...

Great game, but a little fast.
I bought this game for my love of Japan and my wanting to learn the language. This has helped me learn many new words already, you can learn to read and write in Japanese as well as a great way to compare the way you say the word vs. the way you should say it. The only thing I don't like is that it goes a little fast for you to learn and remember everything, you have to keep practicing, not that that's a bad thing, just hard to remember everything they teach. Over all, I love this game. My friend has it and has done wonders for her Japanese. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Japanese, but if you are very serious about learning Japanese, I say get the game AND take a class. Just to be on the safe side.I bought this game for my love of Japan and my wanting to learn the language.
