There is a French and Spanish version as well. I don't reccomend buying the kid a Nintendo DS just to get this game, but if this is already part of your life.....DS11 and I are having fun.

My problems is I felt my DS9's problems were developmental too but he really has a vision problem and needs therapy and now I feel guilty about not figuring it out earlier. This makes me jump on anything going on with DS6 as I don't want to "miss" something else. Guilt is an awful task master! :-) Trinity - funny, I had asked my DH for My Word Coach for ME for the Wii we are getting for Christmas. I thought we could all play it together and maybe improve everyone's vocabulary. I'm glad to hear that it is a good program. I hate paying a lot of money for something and it turn out to be a dud - I'm glad to hear you like it. Thanks!

I bought the "My word coach" for 20 dollars, it's not Pokemon Pearl, but 20 bucks is cheap for a video game. It's more of a "novelty" One is supposed to stop after 20 minutes! I also bought "My vision trainer" to try and get some stealth vision training. Only used that one once. I didn't even consider using "My Word Coach" as a "stocking stuffer" gift. DS has slowly over time, given me to understand that he hates getting "educational" gifts as big presents. He's let me know that he's doing me a favor by trying it. Hey, bad school fit and unfirm parenting do have nasty side effects. I just try to find a way to live with them! Trinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com
