SAN FRANCISCO — November 6, 2007 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that My Word Coach (Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ systems), My Spanish Coach and My French Coach (Nintendo DS) have all shipped to retail stores. The "My Coach" series of games allows players to improve themselves and learn in an interactive and stimulating way, while having fun at the same time.

My Word Coach, developed under the guidance of a linguist, is a game that anyone can play to improve vocabulary and increase confidence in verbal expression. The game consists of a variety of training exercises, four "Coach" personalities and a database of more than 16,800 words to master. My Word Coach helps players in a number of ways in their daily lives, whether it’s writing an email, interviewing for a job or taking a test.

My Word Coach features include:

  • Robust catalogue of definitions: With a dictionary of over 16,800 words to master, players will never run out of fun.

My Spanish Coach and My French Coach for Nintendo DS teach players the basics of word use, grammar and construction of phrases through fun and easy-to-play mini-games. Designed under the guidance of Spanish and French teachers, the games are equipped with over 1,000 interactive lessons, complete with almost 10,000 words and 400 phrases to master.

My Spanish/French Coach features include:

  • Interactive lessons: Tutorials cover almost 10,000 words and 400 phrases, providing students with a comprehensive tool to language mastery.

  • Traveler’s guide: With the ability to search for phrases by list, category or keyword, players won’t find themselves at a loss for words anymore.

Talkback

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

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.
