"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." ( AudioFile magazine)

great free taster!

this free book explains the system and tells you of the learning methods creation, after which you run through a simple "do you speak" conversation.

I'm now off to get the first unit book!

It would have been great - if only I was a man!

I found this way of helping you to remember a new language seems pretty effective. I also enjoyed the way it was done except for the fact that it was obviously aimed at teaching an American male and did not offer the female equivalent at all - which is why it lost stars and left me wondering if it was actually going to be of any use whatsoever.

Worst language book I have ever had.

This book was pretty much useless. The first chapter - which is about half the total length of the book - is just waffle with no actual substance or point to it. The second part I barely bothered listening to as it was a mumbled, garbled mess with yet more waffling by the incredibly irritating narrator from the first chapter. I will never purchase another title by this company and would not recommend it to anyone that wants to learn a new language.
