My Spanish Coach (DS)
We know what the person who got you this was thinking. They were looking at the line in the product description that says “Playing My Spanish Coach for 15 to 20 minutes a day is all you need to become fluent in Spanish.” Unlike marketers, lumps of coal don’t exaggerate and pretend to deliver anything they can’t.

We don’t doubt that playing My Spanish Coach in conjunction with serious study and a healthy diet of Almodóvar films will help your Spanish, but c’mon. There’s no way you can become fluent in any language by playing edu-tainment software for 20 minutes a day.
