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.
