About the Author

Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world's leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles:  the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called ?Graduated Interval Recall.?  This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overall Not very helpful..., Mar 3 2004
By ralicon "Tony" (Valencia, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Express Japanese: Learn to Speak and Understand Japanese with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
The first chapter is a GREAT, reassuring 30 minute "Do you understand English?", "Do you understand English" lesson. I could really speak these helpful phrases after 2 morning commutes. The rest of the chapters are about 3 minutes in length and just go way to fast to understand anything. They are also random situations such as "I have a stomach ache".
From other reviews I read, the $35 or $45 (amazon priced) Pimsleur versions have more of the terrific 30 minute lessons.
Although all is not lost, the box does include a helpful phrase card and small booklet of the random conversations on the CD.

In my opinion, this just gives you 1, 30 minute audio chapter in hopes you'll buy the larger one. Just save the $10-12 on this and buy the other.

1.0 out of 5 stars Read this please!, Jul 31 2003
By Whipper (Sweden) - See all my reviews
The main reason for buying the Q&S version is that a) you're not sure you like the Pimsleur method or b) you can't afford the full version. BUT you can try lesson 1 online for free so there's no need to buy it just to try it. And as for not being able to afford it. If you're really committed to learn Japanese you will -find- a way to buy at least the Instant Conversation set.

I'm not giving this version just 1 star because I don't like it, the first 8 lessons of Pimsleur are great... only thing is that they are the FIRST 8 lessons. Not the only ones. You will get so much more if you buy more lessons so you should save your money and buy Instant Conversation or Level 1.
