A large number of Internet users could really use the help of My Word Coach. It's a shame they won't buy it.

I'm thinking of getting My Spanish Coach. It's kind of embarrassing to have a Spanish last name and yet know only a couple hundred Spanish words.

I hope that Ubisoft does a long, slow, focused advertising push for these games at the appropriate markets, because these titles have enormous sales potential when directed at the right target. Ideally they should advertise these games over the course of an entire year, from christmas to christmas, focusing on traditionally non-gamer avenues like radio, print (in women's magazines?), and maybe even large point-of-purchase in not just Gamestop, but Wal-Mart?

The Spanish one will NOT compare to the greatness that is "Spanish for everyone" for the DS!

Holy mother of God Pap64 I haven't laughed so hard at a video game intro . . . I think ever lol.

I guess his DS had lo-jack on it or something. Those cops were right on those guys asses!.

Also . . . why the hell would they head to Mexico? More to the point why DRIVE a child to TIJUANA. "I can only take you that far". Oh ok Aunty thanks! I'm sure I can rough it out in Tijuana! Dumb bitch lol..

Best. Story/Intro. EVER.
