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)

I recommend

Best language program personally find the techniques used the best I’ve seen. None can top this

Likeable gimmick, but not the best system.

The addition of repetition to music seems like a sound way of learning a new language but, having tried multiple language systems over the years, I personally haven't found this to be one of the best.

Can’t Listen

Bad info and lacks hard facts, audio hurts ears. The narration is so overacted that I couldn’t get beyond chapter 1.

It’s not a full book

It’s not a full book, I don’t know what this is. So angry I purchased this. I should have paid attention to length. What a disappointment.

Dissapointment

The example sentences are totally useless and impractical. Pimsleur should be ashamed of putting out a totally substandard product like this.

Couldn't keep listening to this audiobook

Couldn't keep listening to this audiobook, so I gave up on the course. What a waste of time... Seriously, why focus so much time on words that make people ask, "What does that mean?"

Can’t Listen

I couldn't finish it because the way the narrator reads is very annoying. Do not buy audiobook. Can’t Listen

Not Accurate, No Manual

This one is basically unusable. I found out both the pronunciation and the sentence structure are completely wrong. I did not learn much at all.
