In other words, I do not need three months to listen to the whole of it. Therefore I can finish listening to the whole program simply in a few days or weeks according to my dedication to it. That is how the assessment should be done.Īs for my use of the Pimsleur Language Programs, I learn other resources before or nearly at the same time with the Pimsleur Programs. You should make it the only independent variable (cause) in learning your target language. Only by that manner you can assess the Pimsleur Language Programs accurately and know how it works for you to acquire the phonetics, grammar and vocabulary of the language, only by way of the Pimleur audio, not other resources. So when you listen to Pimsleur for the first time, that should be the first moment you hear the sounds, tones or the intonations of the language. I also suggest you learn a language that you have never learnt before even a bit, a language that you just know the name. In fact, I believe Pimsleur, like Michel Thomas, advise that you only use their course. But aside from that, if I can manage to find some kind soul willing to listen to me, I will not use any other resources for the learning process. Already the mere 24 horus in the day are a stretch for me to get through everything I need to do in a day! 😉 My thought is to perhaps practice with a speaker of the language to make sure it’s not just done in a vacuum. I know what you mean about finding it hard to restrict learning, but time-wise I think 30 minutes is enough for me to give up for this. Whilst Farsi is Indo-European with many words I will already know from other languages I speak, I thought it would still be a nice challenge if picked. Japanese and Thai are the only ones I have had real contact with before, but still not to a great level. I am indeed going to use only Pimsleur and I decided on offering up these language for the vote because I don’t speak them. Thanks for your feedback and encouragement in this challenge.

I will also make a YouTube video to document my ability in the new language. I will write a post about my experience with Pimsleur on this blog at the end of the course. I will announce the result of the vote on Sunday 8 th April and start learning the language you have chosen for me. Vote on which language I should pick on my Facebook page ( /SpeakingFluently). I also offer you the chance to challenge me to study a language using one of the Pimsleur courses from 15 th April for a 30-day period. In the video below I set out the details of what Pimsleur claims to provide in terms of level after you complete one of their courses. I need to go to source to find out what Pimsleur have to say…
What level do they expect the learner to achieve with the materials given? Judging the end result depends entirely on the claims made by Pimsleur and my understanding of those claims. Point one is going to be the easier of the two for me to assess, simply because I can decide right away what I think of their technique. Does the course get you to a good level?.Is it useful for getting a good accent?.I am often asked what I think about it on two points: One method that comes up again and again is Pimsleur. I have found that all have something to offer. I have tried many of them, including TeachYourself, Colloquial, Michel Thomas, Assimil, Linguaphone as well as many online materials from LingQ to Busuu to LiveMocha. People often ask me about various courses that you can buy to learn a new language. The Polyglot Pimsleur Language Challenge Maby Richard 27 Comments
