 Good December 22, 2008
Very educational and fun. I learned a lot in a short amount of time. However, the instructor's explanation of verbs is confusing, not well explained and a little beyond the level of this program. Also, some of the stroke orders were off.
 Great for Beginners and Advaned Knowledge of Japanese December 22, 2008
Wow, what a great game/learning tool for learning Japanese. It takes the knowledge you already know and puts you in the correct lesson (Mine was chapter 8). My niece in Jr. High has also been using it and loving it. Sure beats blowing up and shooting up things/people. Also love the dictionary and writing lessons for Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Thanks for finally making it.
Amazing December 18, 2008
This game is amazing. I had my doubts when I shelled out $40 for it, but after playing it, I would spend much more. There are SO many lessons, and not only do you learn words and grammar, but you also learn kana and kanji. In one hour, I learn more words and phrases than I would in most classroom settings. I am thoroughly pleased.
Great way to digest vocabulary, not so much for writing practice December 1, 2008
The DS stylus has so much potential here to teach the correct way to draw the Kanji, but unfortunately the stroke order is not enforced. You are allowed to freely use any stroke order you want without being penalized. I keep hearing how important stroke order is, so I feel I should point this out. Also, there are times when I get a correctly written kanji marked as incorrect, just because I may not have been keeping adequate pressure on the touch screen.br /br /The grammar lessons are vital and are taught well, however there are no games that reinforce the grammar rules. This game badly needed some kind of verb-adjective conjugation game. br /br /Speaking of mini games, you will probably find yourself only using 2 of the 12 mini-games (mult choice and flash cards). These 2 games do a great job of converting vocabulary to your long term memory. The other 10 games are too heavily polluted with romaji. I already spent months prior to wean myself off romaji, and this game continuously forces you to look at romaji in its mini games.br /br /My high rating of this game is because this is a million times more preferable to reading a textbook and grading your own answers to your quizzes. It is a large boost of confidence to see your grade level continue to rise. In the end, it will always come down to brute force memorization of 10000 words to really learn Japanese...but this DS game is a good diversion.
My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS helps a lot in learning Japanese November 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently bought MJC for the Nintendo DS and I have learned a great deal of Japanese so far. It clearly teches you to pronounce words and phrases and helps you with sentence structures.br /br /The only thing about the game that I do not like so much is writing the kana/kanji. It's not sensative enough to my strokes, causing it to thing that just any squiggly line I draw is a character. This makes it hard to remember exactly how to draw or what characters are which, because it accepts so many wrong answers. Overall, 4/5 Stars
