Good introduction
I liked Paul Nobles approach to teaching but it didn’t have a follow up program. I tried Michel Thomas but wasn’t impressed. Pimsleur seems to have a good balance introducing new vocabulary and reinforcing the old vocabulary. The only downside I can see so far is that it is American but the German speakers are native. Would recommend.

Easy to Use
I found Pimsleur's German Phase 1 very easy to use and understand. The format is excellent. It eases you into the language and through continuous repetition plants the language in your long term memory. The repetitiveness is by no means tedious and the course constantly challenges you to think for yourself by forming sentences from the vocabulary you have learned. It does not overload you either with information but instead gradually introduces additional vocabulary. The tutor goes back on previous units as a refresher every so often which ensures that earlier lessons are not forgotten. I would recommend this method of language learning and look forward to starting lessons 6-10.

An up to date method in learning any language.
This system of learning a language is very successful. It really works. Just do as the guide to lessons tells you and you will succeed in learning a new language. I did German at school, I am half German and only used German at summer times as a kid when we would visit Grandma (Omi) in Germany. I could understand and converse a lot less then. Now, due to the Pimsleur method of learning I have a confidence in really understanding and holding a conversation in German. Very, very highly recommended for all that wish to learn any language in the series of languages.

Boring and old
The way the narrator speaks is very dull and unengaging. The size of the actually book for the price is also very limited.

Overpriced
Only 2.5 hours? Seriously overpriced. 5h should be an absolute minimum but looks like the publisher determined to milk the listeners dry.

A great approach to teaching usable German
This is the 3rd language I've used the Pimsleur system for, and I find it works extremely well for me.
While these courses wont make you truly fluent, they aren't intended to; rather they equip you with an extremely useful basic vocabulary and overview of the language.
People learn and retain information in different ways, so I'm sure they're are some that may find the Pimsleur approach a struggle, but for me personally I love them, I often listen to them in the car and I always try to listen to each lesson at least twice before moving on to the next.
Thoroughly recommended.

Great
An easy and effective way to learn a new language. I have already used Pimsleur to learn a new language and am now returning to German.

Great learning tool
Perfect to learn a new language. Clear and repetitive phrases. Asking you to remember a previous word learnt is a good way of practicing

Brilliant
Excellent way to learn a language. Not being an 'auditory learner' I didn't think I'd have much success but by lesson 5 I could recall things much more easily. The great thing is, you can recap as many times as you like.

Good but minimal
The lessons are good but I had expected to learn a lot more than I did. This is very minimal so quite disappointing especially for the price paid. If book 2 is the same and ends up only going over what we have done in book1 then I will not be pleased at all.
