 Repetitve but fun November 15, 2008
I bought this game as a tool to get a head start on French classes I'll be taking. There are some good and bad things about the game.
Good: It's a good tool for memorization and the mini-games are pretty fun. It has a decent dictionary and the lessons seem to progress in a good sequence. The music is cute to listen to. The words you're learning are relevant and would be helpful to know in a French-speaking country. It's fun to play!
Bad: It's pretty repetitive. Each lesson is practically the same, except for the words/phrases you're learning. Also, you start off by taking a quiz to see what level you should start on. This seems like a good idea, but the quiz is multiple choice, so you can look at a lot of the words and make an educated guess as to what it means. It started me off on Level 9 and I've never had a day of French in my life, only because I could guess well. Then it says I've mastered all the previous lessons, which isn't true.
Overall, it's a fun game and for the price, it's worth it. I wouldn't suggest using it as your ONLY tool for learning French, but it can definitely help.
 Great Way To Learn French November 2, 2008
I have tried several times to learn french and this is the first tool i have used where i actually retain most of the information and am abot to understand and speak french with ease, this is a great game!!!
Good for practice!! October 24, 2008
I got this product with the objective of practicing french, and I might say that it is very usefull, the activities are dinamic and you get related to the language.
Even so, I'm 22, and I took french courses for almost 2 years, so I was already related to it. If it is the first time you get in touch with french I think its a little tediuos and complicated at first... also it is not funny for children, and I mean 12 years old.
But as I said first... is a very good tool to practice and not forgive what you've learned!
french coach October 12, 2008
I bought this game as a gift for my friends' son and he now has to fight his parents to give the game back. They are all trying to learn french before moving to a french island and all say French Coach is so much fun. I have also bought Spanish Coach for my son and ended up having to buy two more for my friends teenagers who thought it was fun and hooked them. If the kids, teens and parents are all getting into it, then it must be fun and worth it.
 Not bad, but the games are stupid and repetitive September 21, 2008

The repetition of vocabulary is good, but the games are lame. One has you clicking on gophers that pop up out of holes, that's kind of pre-school. Since I have a 12 year old using the game to learn a second language it just seems infantile for both of us. The other game is a word search, but it gives you so little time to find the phrases, I ended up with tired eyes from having to scan so fast.(I also don't think that it helped me learn the language any better.) I thought the flash card games were better and saved me from having to sit there and painstakingly print out index cards.
