Gina Harrison writes: " So, you want to learn a new language. You could choose one of the more obvious European languages, such as French, Spanish or even Italian - but that wouldn't be as exciting as learning Japanese now, would it? Well Ubisoft has released another My Coach title on the DS and with its boast that you can learn Japanese in fifteen minutes a day, what are you waiting for?
My Japanese Coach begins with a placement test, which is used to check your current ability with the language. This test is multiple choice and, depending on how well you score, you might skip some of the earlier lessons. If you feel that you just made some good guesses however then you to go back to any of the lessons that you missed. The only slight problem is that you can't skip future lessons that you dislike. There are one hundred lessons in total, after which there's another section called Open Lessons, which help you to master all the words in the dictionary."
