There are 3 varieties of standard Finnish: "kirjakieli" or “book language” which is used in official documents, official speeches and the daily news; "yleiskieli" or “standard language” which is taught in schools - formal and correct, though more relaxed than the "book language"; and "puhekieli" or "spoken language" which is a frequently changing, more casual variety used in everyday conversation. This course teaches the standard Finnish language, "yleiskieli."

Worth every penny!
Each unit is easy to understand and is great for listening to in the car. With each unit I can hear myself getting more and more confident in speaking and understanding what is being said. I am heading to Sweden next month and cannot wait to try talking in Swedish!

Very good format for learning conversational Swedish
The Pimsleur technique is excellent for building up your conversational language. I knew nothing at the beginning but through repetition of each unit (usually 2-3 times) I’ve been able to memorise everything. It builds up your vocabulary and knowledge of word order to such an extent that you are able to use the same words differently to say different things. Your pronunciation is excellent as you are focussed on how you sound so you avoid speaking with your native accent. My one criticism is that learning with this technique doesn’t help you read or write the Swedish language. I’m moving on to the next unit however and will try other tools to help me learn the alphabet and different letter sounds later.

Great programme
After trying various approaches.. this method hit the nail on the head! Extremely thourough and easy to follow and if you dont understand all of a lesson just wait a few hours and listen again. couldnt be more simple.

Not a bad course
Like any of the language courses, you get out what you put in, it's not easy but the course takes a slow easy learning approach. Follow the plan and you'll start to learn. The course tends to provide a sentence, and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. As I mentioned in the title, not a bad course and I'd recommend it to help supplement Swedish learning.

It works!!!
This Pimsleur method WORKS - short 30 minutes bursts of lessons.
The lessons build and progress each time rather than just jump to new topics which really solidifies the knowledge.
Paul Noble audio language courses really compliment these Pimsleur courses.
You can do this completely on the move as there’s no book to follow along with nor do you need pen/paper or in fact anything - just listen and absorb and most of all ENJOY!
Go on - you won’t be disappointed.

The perfect tool to learn w/o a native speaker
I was skeptical about the pimsleur method, since learning a language as an adult can seem so difficult. After completing the first 30 minute lesson, I already felt like I was speaking way better than I ever had from taking lessons from a native speaker and friend of mine. The learning curve and words are very practical and linear, so everything you learn reinforces your fundamentals and builds logically until you're stringing together useful sentences at an intermediate level. Of course having some written exercises to work out will be the next step, so I will look into getting a basic book of swedish. No complaints here about this method!

I'm loving their German series but not this one
The audio quality of the Swedish speakers is of poor quality and it is difficult to understand the unique sounds of the language. I have tested it on several different speaker systems to make sure it wasn't on my end (air pods, bose sport, car speakers, computer speakers).

useful supplement to other courses
Not many words are introduced, but other apps use text-to-speech. Native speakers are useful in learning what letters to say and what not to say.
