Seriously, slow down!

I’ve previously learned Italian and Thai with Pimsleur, so I thought I knew what to expect. It took me three weeks to complete lesson one - and I’m generally a fast learner with a knack for languages.

Not enough repetition and too many random phrases thrown in make this audiobook a pain to get through. Learning how to say ‘you are very skillful, aren’t you?’ and ‘as for me, I am an American person’ before I can say hello and thanks isn’t very motivational at all :(

Learning three different phrases in the space of two minutes is mind boggling. Such a shame as I love learning with Pimsleur and was excited for this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
