My Word Coach is a fantastic game where you can develop your vocabulary.When you first start you get a friendly male trainer who gives you a test to see which words you know and don't know.After this test you will receive a rank.For instance you might gain the rank of graduate from primary school or a lawyer for instance.Do not worry if you are embarrassed by your rank, you can improve it by playing lots of varieties of different activities that you get.I will now explain this.After you get your rank you can choose a trainer including the 1 you first see.After choosing your trainer you get a few activities that if you practise with every day you can earn new activities and new icons like aprogress chart.Here are the 2 word training games that you start with.Missing Letter: Fill in the missing letter by writing it with your Wii Remote.Writing= Press and hold down the A Button or B Button and move the Wii Remote.Letter Validation= after a slight delay, the letter you wrote on the screen will be confirmed.Clear= If the letter is incorrect, swing the Wii Remote left and right quickly as if it was a board cleaner and you will clear the screen.No Error= When you reach a higher difficulty level, some words will be spelled correctly.If you think this is the case press the + Control Pad in any direction to confirm your decision.Split Decision: The object of the game is to match the word at the top of the screen to its correct definition.Tilt your Wii Remote left or right to see the different answers.Viewing the Choices= Tilt the Wii Remote left or right to see the possible answers.Confirm= Press the A Button to confirm the displayed answer.Neither= When you reach a higher difficulty level, both answers may be incorrect.If you think this is the case, press the B Button to confirm your decision.When you a play a game a lot you will receive a harder difficulty level which makes the words even more challenging.This sometimes makes 1 or 2 new controls in an activity.Controlling "My Word Coach" Using a Nintendo DS: One of the unique features of "My Word Coach Develop your vocabulary" is that it allows you to use your Nintendo DS to play the single-player game of "Missing Letter" in wireless mode - all you need is a copy of the game for the Wii!Here's how to connect your DS:Start a Training Game of Missing Letter.Move the cursor over the DS icon.Press the A Button to confirm your choice.Now you will be asked to turn ON your DS and touch DS Download Play.Select the item with your Wii's name and wait until the download is complete.Once complete, touch the Bottom screen to start and you will be able to write with your DS!Use the Nintendo DS stylus to write letters on the Bottom screen in the same way you would with a paper and pencil, and watch as they appear on your television screen!Note: You do not need a DS game card to play Missing Letter with your DS.I think writing with your DS is easier than writing with the Wii Remote, as I find it harder because it sometimes shows up wrong when your trying to write a letter.I and my sister got this as a gift to improve our vocabulary to use bigger words and improve our English.It worked.Overall this is a fun way to improve your vocabulary and is fun for all of the family but don't be fooled the words can be tricky!I would recommend buying this game for children over the age of 10.Lots of reviewers have also mentioned this as the easiest levels are quite difficult for young children.Thank you for reading my review.10/10.

My son (12) is a poor reader, whereas my daughter (13) reads about a book every two days. For twenty quid, I thought this must be worth a try as there are precious few decent fun & educational PC games suitable for your kids after they pass the age of 8 [and even fewer for the game consoles]. This game "is created in association with Dr Tom Cobb, Prof of Applied Linguistics - with words and definitions from the Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary [whatever that means]."The word games are a bit like the brain training franchise. There's `missing letter' - the word has one letter missing and you simply freehand scribble the letter on the screen and you get a yes/no, and on to the next word - text recognition is good.In another you can 'match the word to the list of definitions'. Then there's 'word cereal' i.e. alphabet soup, where you drag out the letters and write a word on the edge of the plate. Plus there's `Block letters': a Tetris style stack up a word with dropping letters. And there's `Word Shuffle': match a word with definition using a different method to that previously [and some words don't have the correct definition shown]. And finally there's 'safecracker': spell the mystery word turning a dial to get them in the right order. As you progress through any game it gradually gets harder. There's also 'recreational games' that unlock as you progress through your word training. Plus you get a review of your progression [score up to 100] and booklet help on inputting letters freehand with the Wii remote.All the games are also playable as multi-player (3 games are 2 player and the other 3 are 2 to 4 players). The games are actually fairly fun, and more importantly our kids do play them occasionally [particularly my daughter, and she certainly doesn't storm through it]. So for the first few weeks, this games been a success. We only have a handful of Wii games which helps. So I would recommend the `My Word Coach' for secondary school kids to adults [despite the 3+ rating the words are rather hard for under 10s, and even teenagers might struggle] - and naturally don't expect boys to choose it regularly over Mario Galaxy. Being younger, My dyslexic son naturally has the most trouble with the words, and he needs help all the time. The game looks good as well, and so far we haven't noticed words repeating - although often kids like to get the odd word they already know the answer to, as 'winning' is everything to them.

I love this game - it's educational and fun!I don't understand the people who say it's not for adults, as your vocabulary is assessed at the start, so the exercises are then aimed at your level of vocabulary. The only adults who could possibly find this game a bit childish and boring, are the ones with an excellent vocabulary to begin with.The games are fun and challenging. I have my favourites like Split Decision and one's I'm not so keen on - for example Safe Cracker. But you can get enjoyment out of all the games, and you build up your vocabulary as you go along; so as you go over the same words again and again they are drilled into you.I'm a young adult and I can honestly say I'm still learning new words!In this game you have a choice of four coaches who say things to you occasionally - mainly about how well you're doing. When you have made enough progress, you go up to the next level - so you are really motivated to do well! Also as you progress on the different games, you unlock a new level for that game, which makes this game as a whole even more challenging!My thoughts - this is a game for people of all ages! I don't recommend it to those who already have an excellent vocabulary, but for people who want to learn more complicated words you don't hear in everyday conversation - buy it!

This game is brilliant and well worth the money. I'm addicted to it and I'm learning new words as well. It can be a bit annoying when most of the time you know the answers but you're not fast enough to complete the task but it is a game after all. When I say fast i don't mean thinking of the answer fast but more not quick enough in manoevering the wiimote were you require before the time runs out which is a tad annoying when you know the answer! I play this game every night as it's like a school and once you've reached your expression potencial for the day, you cannot move onto the next level until the day after.You can set the game bearing in mind whether english is your first level and your age.I decided to set it to a five year old and as secondary language to see if it would suitable for my friends son as it does state 3 plus but it was far too difficult. I thought it may have got you to spell words such as boy or sun or and but the words are much to difficult and i would say it really should be suitable for a child 7 plus and even then it could be tough.

If you don't like the title of this game, then you're going to hate it! However it really does what it says on the tin and I know I've learnt some new words because of it. It has an excellent dictionary, clear definitions and a nice set of games.My only complaint is that it's not that easy to have a five minute go at it, it would have been nice to have a baby version on the Wii menu or quick games that you can play for a few minutes. If you've got thirty minutes then its great, but for any less than that you have to wade through cumbersome menus and if you haven't gone through the initial tutorial and saved it then it can take an age to get to the vocabulary building part.Overall it seems likethe only choice for the Wii and on that basis I recommend it for those who wish to enhance their lexical ability! (See, I did learn the odd word.)

I bought this game about a week ago, and whilst it's not nearly as addictive as Big Brain Academy, it is good at what it's supposed to do. You have to want to increase your word knowledge (and vocabulary) to play it, essentially. Overall a fun game, the graphics are a little on the cheesy side, but that doesn't take away from the game too much. One feature I liked was that you get asked whether English is your native language. This was particularly useful for us, as my boyfriend is Swedish, so his word lists were easier than mine (lucky him!).

This game is ok for £9.99. I got it because i thought it would be fun, it is if you're 9/10 but not for adults.There is many games. One is alphabet soup and you have to guess the word and drag the letters into the correct order onto the side of your soup bowl. This game i found difficult!.Another game includes writing the missing letter out of a word onto a screen.I became bored with this game within a week then again im a adult, and it's not really aimed at adults. So i'd recommended this game for school age kids :-)

Out of three Word Quiz associated Wii games this is the only one I have so far played. Time is limited so it's handy to just dip in and out of when I have a spare 20mins.So far I have thoroughly enjoyed each section of it that I have access to. I am looking forward to unlocking more training in the coming weeks and to an altogether much sharper brain!

The game on a whole is very good, the only draw back is the spray can you write with sometimes does not read what you have written correctly and you get a X for wrong instead of a tick for correct

Brilliant for anyone that loves words. Kids who enjoy reading will be able to extend their knowledge and feel like they are having fun at the same time.
