Superb!

Enjoyed it! Pronunciation could've been a bit slower or my hearing could've been better. 😁

Excellent excellent excellent!

This is really enjoyable and helps you really speak the language correctly so that natives understand you perfectly.

The perfect tool to learn w/o a native speaker

I was skeptical about the pimsleur method, since learning a language as an adult can seem so difficult. After completing the first 30 minute lesson, I already felt like I was speaking way better than I ever had from taking lessons from a native speaker and friend of mine. The learning curve and words are very practical and linear, so everything you learn reinforces your fundamentals and builds logically until you're stringing together useful sentences at an intermediate level. Of course having some written exercises to work out will be the next step, so I will look into getting a basic book of swedish. No complaints here about this method!

useful supplement to other courses

Not many words are introduced, but other apps use text-to-speech. Native speakers are useful in learning what letters to say and what not to say.

Best Swedish course

Pimsleur's Swedish is the best Swedish course I've seen so far. There's little point in bringing up some random words without revising them, like in many courses, On the other hand, active repetition of the vocabulary that is present in the course seems pretty effective.
