5 Stars Worth your $[...]
I’m too scared to ever actually use the new words that I’ve learned from this game for fear of using them incorrectly and sounding like an idiot, but My Word Coach has extended my vocabulary. It’s fun, addictive, personalized to each individual player, and definitely worth the $[...]. Of all the Wii games I’ve played, this one is my… second favorite.
5 Stars Fun and educational!
Good game that makes learning new words fun! I was surprised at how quick it came up with words I didn’t know, and I really liked the way it worked those words back into the next set of games played, as a method to ensure you learn them. For the price, a great gaming value with longevity!
3 Stars Fun for word-nerds…does not make the best use of the Wii interface.
If you love vocabulary based games and go to sites like freerice often, you will find this game fun. It offers you a choice of instructors and games. You have a required quota for the day and your instructor will let you know how you’re doing. In one game you have to choose between 2 words based on the meaning, which is what we play the most. In another you fill in the blanks of a word by spray painting the letter on the screen. This game is a bit frustrating because it’s difficult to spray paint the letter with the remote and you lose points if you take too much time. There are some other games too. Playing it as a multi-player game is fun, only my kid scored higher than me just because she is better at using the Wii-mote. I ended up clicking the wrong answer sometimes just because the interface is not as responsive or intuitive as some other Wii games (like Super Mario Galaxy, for instance).
Overall the game is fun but is not really designed to teach you usage of new words. It is built more like a testing game to test your vocabulary.
5 Stars Great fun!
This is Mandy, James’ wife.
I wish I could have had this about 15 years ago, when I was studying for the SAT’s. I only have one complaint: I’m not bragging, but once you get to 99%, you just stay there. It took me about two weeks. I am still learning new words, and learning how to spell words I already knew the meaning of (but could not type close enough for spell checker to even make a suggestion).
5 Stars My Word Coach
My Word Coach offers a fun and challenging way to increase your vocabulary in addition to checking out what level verbage you already use. It would be an excellent way to help your children learn while playing a fun game.
