Language games coming to the DS

A series of language tuition programs designed for the Nintendo DS are set to be launched next year, it has been announced.

Publishing company PlayV has revealed that its Mind Your Language range of games will include versions for those who would like to learn French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

The titles have been created to give people a full understanding of both written and vocal language, while also developing a dictionary of important terms.

Brian Faller, marketing manager of PlayV, said the company was "really proud" to be launching the series.

He added: "Mind Your Language does something other methods can’t match – it makes learning language genuinely fun for anyone, no matter how young or old."

The games are expected to be launched in the UK on February 13th.

Details about the language tuition titles have come after it was announced that Square Enix is launching a new title based on its popular Final Fantasy franchise.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time will be available for the Nintendo Wii and DS when launched.
