Any additional comments?

The 'Pimsleur method' seems to be pseudoscientific nonsense, but once the narrator stops droning on about it and gets on with going through some basic conversations it's a fairly good course. It is well paced, covering useful beginners vocabulary and teaches pronunciation effectively. As a purely audio limited introductory course I would recommend it.

But, and it is a big but, the Pimsleur method is not a fan of any kind of text accompaniment, which seems strange to me. Babies learn language without it, but once we reach adulthood and invest a lot of the intervening time in developing the neural pathways to read and write, it's a little daft to ignore that avenue for learning. Personally I find it helpful to learn the written part of a language to aid with remembering and pronouncing words, so I had to invest some time trawling the internet for the words I was learning to say.

The language used tends to be rather formal, for example 'ce mai facet' for how are you, rather than the 'ce faci' Romanians abbreviate to in normal speech, though this is not necessarily a bad thing in a new language. Better formal than rude.

In summary a good introductory course to get you straight in to speaking words, suitable for tourists but probably not the best approach if you want a base for mastering the language - that really does require literacy and some basic skipped steps like the phonetic sounds.

easy to use, really useful

I work with children who cannot speak any English at all, this has been really useful in understanding basic language skills ( along with my own research ) to help them learn the English language. They absolutely love the fact that I am learning their language and it has made it so much easier for them, and myself. I would highly recommend 👌

Creepy stalker dude

Apart from the creepy stalker dude vibe Pimsleur has going on I enjoyed this course. The content is a product of its time, and the course's assumption that I am a straight American man intent on picking up girls is a little annoying. However, I work with Romanians who are very impressed with my accent and rapid progress, so the course is doing something right. And if I say 'Ma'am' or 'Sir' or use the formal 'ypu' a little more often than the average Romanian they just laugh and put me right.

A great way to start learning Romanian

This is a good introduction to conversational Romanian and I felt pleased with my progress. I look forward to downloading the next set of units.
