"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)

This is The Way.

Excellent all over, and the progression is so well designed! Sometimes it can be very hard to distinghuish between -th and -f. Tha same goes for -d and -t at the end of words. A written transcript would be much appreciated. Also; is the correct phrase for «please», min fadlik for both sexes?
