The DS is a better candidate though...]]>Jul 1st 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/What happens if you have a PDP and not a ds. ]]>Jul 1st 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/Jul 1st 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/
I'm guessing the school has DS's to loan out, and if you can't understand the obvious reasons why they chose the DS over the PSP for this application, well...

So if they've got stuff to teach English on the DS, I wonder if they've got something to teach Japanese? That'd be something I'd be interested in for sure. (And yes, I own a DS, and no, I don't own a PSP).]]>Jul 1st 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/ that's real leet not the stuff u type]]>Jul 1st 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/nintendos-ds-handheld-used-to-teach-english-in-japan/2. The DS is cheaper
3. The DS is more child-friendly
4. The DS has the touch screen. Handwriting recognition is amazing.
5. The DS has a microphone as well. Speech recognition is amazing.
6. The Ability to connect to other DS' via wireless connection would give students the opportunity to connect to each other to play English games and improve their language abilities through things such as dialog.

While the PSP is nice, the DS suits this need more.

As for the one asking for Japanese software, there is kanji training software for the DS, you need to at least read instructions though (In Japanese of course).
