Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Good language training

Second time through…already begging to speak the language with the locals here in the Balkans.

Great!

I really enjoyed the lessons. I feel like I learned a lot and remembered more than I thought I would.

Good, but needs more supplemental reading material

I agree in part with the Pimsleur method of learning language like a child learns, by listening and participation. But without additional reading material, the lessons can be difficult. It is sometimes difficult to tell how words are spelled, or if you are even hearing word pronounced correctly. I used Google Translate with each lesson to check my assumption and this helped immensely. Pimsleur should have included in the PDF document ALL conversations from all lessons, with translation to English. In order to communicate in any language you must be able to read it as well as speak it. There are, however, few options online for learning Croatian, so this option is still viable to get to a basic level of fluency. We really need more levels to obtain intermediate or advanced Croatian language skills.
