Actual Customer Feedback: The Pimsleur language programs are superb: They work really, really well. Earlier I did the Pimsleur Spanish program with good success. Now I am doing the Pimsleur German series and I like this very much.
Part of an actual user review at EBay These are not your "phrase books" - they really make you think in the new language and put new knowledge to use by asking questions to expand your skills. I noticed that I learn even if I can't understand a certain word or phrase, their unique "Graduated Interval Recall" eventually just pounds it into your head! Part of an actual user review at Epinions.com This method requires no preliminary knowledge of the language. It is clear and self-explanatory. It builds on patterns of speech and requires active participation; it is not rote learning. Part of actual user review at Amazon.com Our Research on Pimsleur Suggests: Based on the reviews we examined, the Pimsleur system offers a good intensive learning method. The price might put off a few but the features are valuable with sound benefits in the end. Verdict Pimsleur does work as advertised and is recommended as resource for learning a new languauge. |
