My French coach~nintendo DS
Contributed by: Vikasini Mahalingam on 8/5/2008

At the beginning of my linguistic journey, i was just like a large majority of people in the United States, i had no idea how to speak French. Colorado Kids helped me discover the breathtaking French language, through a very fun video game called my French coach (in French: Mon entraîneur français). It was by far the largest piece of knowledge i ever gained from my Nintendo DS. You start out by taking a small (and incredibly fun) placement "test". It decides which level is a good fit for you to start on. With countless levels, it gradually builds your capability to make sentences, and soon you can speak French like a pro! The game uses actual voices to enhance the accents and the way you speak. Although Spanish is the language that most high schoolers in Colorado take as a second language, in 1999, there were 79,572,000* people all over the world that spoke French! In the game you have your own, virtual, tutor who guides you through the tedious process. I had loads of fun learning French, and i am sure that this game will have you wanting more.
