    this is by far the best language learning program ive ever used. I did a few lessons and stopped for like 6 months but i still remembered everything i was taught for the first time trying to learn a language.

    I fully agree with this review! For me, these cons actually make Pimsleur perfect for me. I already learned grammar, reading and writing in high school/college. I want to enhance my listening and speaking skills, as I can read Spanish well but have problems understanding it when spoken.

    This was my problem with Duolingo. No matter how much I learned and advanced, I never felt confident in conversation. I couldn't think of the words I wanted or how to form them into different sentences.

    My problem with using Pimsleur was that I originally tried using it while sitting in a chair and following along, and was incredibly bored. Now I go for daily bike rides/walks and listen and it's so much more enjoyable while doing something else.

    One thing to mention is that all the courses are in English with the exception of Learning English courses for other languages.
    If you're not a native speaker it leads to a situation where you're learning a foreign language through the lens of another foreign language, so you need solid grasp of English first...

    Pimsleur is useful but it assumes you are about to be a tourist and going out on lots of dates. I use a combo of Pimsleur & Mondly and other avenues.

    I have been using Pimsleur for years and your review is spot on. Regarding Busuu, I tried their French for six months, and for me, it was not very effective. I've been using Speakly now for about the same amount of time and find it more engaging with better results.

    I love Pimsler, great review. It does get boring at times but I have alot of interest in the language I'm learning and that keeps me going. You have to love what you do. I just retain more using this app myself than with others. I also have language books I learn from as well.

  • @jasensargent2245
    @jasensargent2245 2 месяца назад +6

    Only boring when you TRY to memorize the vocabulary. I've realized with language learning, especially with a program like pimsleur, your not supposed to be interacting with the language trying too hard to memorize words but rather allow yourself to take the wonderful journey into a new world of a new language to speak to people you couldn't before. So if you follow along with that in mind it actually can be very fun and enjoyable and you will WANT to talk out loud.

    I came across great reviews about the app fluentU. But the language I wanted to learn was Vietnamese, Ideally northern accent as it is easier to learn for westerners.
    Kindly introduce Vietnamese into the category, ready to subscribe!

  • @evaguerrero4964
    @evaguerrero4964 Месяц назад

    Now it has gamification, plus it has reading and writing exercises. I think in learning depends on how invested you are in learning the language, and how you take advantage of your resources. I do transliterations that helps me practice pronoun I atinó and at the same time I memorize the vocab. I also use the gamification and do all the reading exercises by writing the words.. although it’s basic it is a good start and helps you discipline for language learning.

      You can read along, there's a "Speak Easy" section that basically shows you the main text of the conversation. However, it's recommended to first listen to the text without looking at it. There's also free trials you can sign up for to see if it's for you

    "My aunt is looking for the Kiosk please" OH just teach me how to say "Did you sleep OK" or "Is anyone hungry" I mean fs....
