Great way to learn a new language

If you want to learn basic Japanese this is a great place to start. I am working on chapter 18 and can't say enough good things about the Pimsleur Programs.

Good tool for learning Japanese

I wouldn't rely exclusively on audio to learn a language, but Pimsleur has been very useful. I use this with other texts, and the results are pretty good.

Pimsleur is awesome!

It's great that the words are broken down into syllables and each lesson builds very nicely onto the last. I certainly feel so much more comfortable speaking Japanese now! Nihongo ga wakarimasuka?
