What satisfied customers say about Pimsleur Audios:
A painless start to learning a new language.
There are three things that everybody who has taken a Pimsleur course says about it: 1) It's
expensive 2) It works, and 3) I wish there was more. If it didn't work, the other two wouldn't matter (and if you
are not sure it will work for you try an 8 lesson Basic set). But since for most it does work, it is worth
considering the other two items. You will probably want to continue through Spanish II, possibly Spanish III. This
costs real money. And even after the full three volume set you are not going to be able to follow the soaps. But it
is amazing how quickly you go from saying "Do you speak English?" to being able to understand and express complex
ideas in Spanish within a small, but well chosen, vocabulary.
Great product
This is a fantastic product, and one of the best ways to really get an early handle on grammar, and
an outstanding way to practice speaking and pronounciation at any level. However, please do not do not get
disapointed when you don't speak perfect French in 8 hours. This will give you basic tools to build on, but then
you need to spend some time in a French country, or take several years of university classes.
When considering the investment in a foriegn language, consider that it may take 1000 hours (for an extremely easy
language like French) to feel very comfortable in the language. That's one hour of serious study each day for three
years. Or you can go sit in a Parisian cafe and talk to people who are willing to tutor you (extremely hard to find
without some pretty good skills to start with) and you might get there in a few months.
I like this product because it's the very best available for naturally teaching you the grammar basics and for
helping you to build the core vocabulary (stuff like and, but, or, many, few, the, a, an, whowhatwhenwherewhy), the
core language structure (negation, word order), and it's outstanding for it's ability to teach language
sounds...
A side note...be willing to sleep between lesson times. Something happens when you sleep, and you'll be better at
it by the next lesson. That's why it's important to do this every single day, so that you have the maximum number
of study-sleep cycles. -- Daniel G. Cockrell, Phoenix, AZ, USA
