Critic reviews

"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 Start

This is a great start hearing the conversations but I’d definitely suggest getting something hard copy as well for grammar & spelling.

It is a helpful guide into conversion. I found it easy to follow. thank you

Great value for the money

I'm looking to complement my DuoLingo instruction - this was interesting! it's going against the Pimsleur method to use more than one way of instruction so I must be wary of the language police.

Okay Starter

Like all the Pimsleur language learning books, this starts at a very basic level. It is okay for anyone who has never heard the language before. However, it is not for someone who needs an immediately useful reference. It will help one move to increasingly more complicated material, but it requires the subsequent volumes to actually learn the language.

This is Worth Your Time

This free first lesson (and introduction to the learning process) was so exciting. I LOVE their process and this one lesson is all it takes to taste and know if it's right for you. I found the lessons to be exciting & I look forward to them each day. Digestible and leave me totally confidant in the conversational topics covered!

I have since continued into the following units & am very grateful for whatever it is about Pimsleur method that is worlds apart, more comfortable and natural than any other language method I have been exposed to!

Dutch phase 1 unit 1

I expected this to have some introduction (maybe 1/2 this “lesson”) to Dutch language, however that was not the case. Phase 1 unit 1 is simply the narrator telling you what you should do to get the most out of this method.
