First off, learning isn't all fun and giggles. It is just learning. The Pimsleur method is boring, but very effective. And, it takes some time to learn a language. But time will continue whether you start now, or never. I have learned a few languages with this method, and I am currently learning a few more. What I have found is that the language you learn is a formal style that most people wouldn't use = BUT = I would always rather be considered conservative than considered disrespectful in another country / culture. Here's how it goes: 1) You start to learn and talk to people, but hey don't know what you are saying because you really can't speak the language = then, after about a month 2) People understand what you are saying 3) People tell you that you are correct, but no one really talks that way 4) Those same people now realize that you are making sincere efforts to know their language and culture 5) They make fun of you because you are talking do formally 6) They start liking you A LOT and help you speak correctly 7) Your life is so much better, so enriched, and you have some new friends! Learning with Pimsleur? Google "Stanford Marshmallow Experiment" for a great analogy on why I take the time to learn.Read full review

This is a great product for learning to SPEAK a foreign language. Pimsleur focuses on learning to speak not defining rules; exactly the way we all learn our native language. I love learning languages and this is the best program out there.
very impressed how the program is put together, sure will enjoy learning the new language. Thank you
I can't say how the product is because I never received it.After 12 emails and a several trips around the site to try to get answers I gave up after a month of nothing.
