A Great Educational Device October 7, 2008

When I turned 49 this year, I realized this was my year for self improvement. I read more, exercised more, cut back eating a lot of red meat and started to do puzzle books to increase my memory.
My Cousin Jeremy spent a few weeks with me. He had a Gameboy DS. I started playing Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! and I was hooked. I broke down and bought a DS unit (see Jeremy, Its all your fault!). Jeremy gave me Brain Age 2 as a gift. But I wanted more.
I was never a fast finger sort. I was more a trivia based/fact filled information junkie person. So I bought Crosswords DS (see my review)..and I wanted more.
A friend suggested this program and I bought it. I have been writing for many years. I still found this program interesting. It is for young and old alike.
Now the problem I have it letter reconizing on a timed game situation, which is hit or miss. The same problem I have with Crosswords DS gameboy game. The system see an I for an L or an N for a H. Once you get passed that problem, the software is a nice tool for education for young and old alike to have a GREAT VOCABULARY! I think since this is done is a game like arena, we should hand this out in schools and tell the teens, "Sure play your copy of "My Word Coach" or "Brain Age 2"..I know a few teachers, but maybe with this kids may learn
I would have enjoyed a lot less timed games and a harder level for adults. But on the whole, it is a great software for those learning words and others who want to keep their brain active

English isn't my mother tongue, and I wanted to improve my English. I bought this game, and I really like it. My English has improved already.
 Excellent! September 4, 2008

Highly recommended!
An excellent tool for eleven year old son August 26, 2008
I bought this game for my eleven year old son. He is bilingual in Spanish and English and I had hoped this would help him to improve English vocabulary and spelling skills. Although it is hard for My Word Coach to compete with his "fun only and non-educational" type DS games, he does actually find it to be be fun and challenging. He likes the fact that he is graded (given a "level") and must compete with himself to raise the level. Now, I just need to work on getting him to play 20 minutes daily! I am looking forward to a future "My German Coach" as he will begin German as his third language in school this fall!
Keeping my brain busy July 30, 2008
I work for a security company, and I often find myself in the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at and nobody to talk to. This makes falling asleep a serious risk, as in a risk to my employment and potentially a risk to the people and property I'm protecting. How do I avoid this problem? Playing games like My Word Coach
I found the games to be both fun and educational. I've already ordered My French Coach and My Spanish Coach. I do security once in a while for a Canadian cargo ship, and with all the illegal aliens, Spanish is becoming necessary to speak to people I encounter during my night shifts.
