Product Description

Review

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed."-- AudioFile Magazine

"EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE...each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners...Pimsleur [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use -- quite lively!"-- Boston Herald

"Learn French while commuting, German while jogging, Spanish (or Russian, Italian, and Japanese) while cooking all with NO WRITTEN MATERIALS!"-- New York Daily News

"Designed for the ear and not the eye...the lessons provide PERFECT 30-minute bites of work."-- St Louis Post-Dispatch

"Learn to habla español or parlez français before your next trip aboard. The interactive LESSONS CHALLENGE STUDENTS to use new words in conversation instead of memorize them."-- American Way (American Airlines inflight magazine)

"I tried other language programs with little success...This is the best by far!"-- Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot, International Society of Women Airline Pilots

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Learn Madarin, Jun 24 2004
By Ryan Johnson (Franklin, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese (Mandarin) (Audio CD)
This is the first Pimsleur course I've used, and I wish I had discovered them sooner! I usually don't learn languages completely by ear, but it's proving to be a great way to learn Mandarin. I even find that I remember things my Chinese friends teach me so much easier since I am getting used to picking up new words without seeing them or writing a notecard on them! I've I am on Disc 3 so far and have had no problems remembering any of my lessons. Additionally, I think my pronunciation is coming very easily because I am not trying to translate Romanized characters into Chinese sounds.

3.0 out of 5 stars I like the Pimsleur method but be wary!, Mar 23 2004
By Chris A. King "cking2" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chinese (Mandarin) (Audio CD)
I already have the Quick and Simple Mandarin Chinese by Pimsleur and really loved it but, even though the description says-

'goes beyond the Quick and Simple...'

The first 8 lessons (first half) is merely a repackaging of the 8 lessons in the Q + S.

So, I cannot comment on the second half because I was so upset about being duped that I returned it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, Jan 4 2004
By adrenaline (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese (Mandarin) (Audio CD)
I will be leaving for Taiwan in a week and am thankful for this wonderful introduction to Mandarin. After purchasing the Instant Conversation, I used the large rebate to continue my study of Mandarin with Pimsleur's Mandarin I.

I have been living with a Taiwanese family (in the US) for the last few months and they tell me that my understanding and pronounciation of the Mandarin I have learned thus far is beautiful. There are, of course, slight differences in pronunciation between the Beijing accent of the CD's and the Taiwanese accent, but it hasn't been problematic.
Thanks Pimsleur!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing method!
This is better than Berlitz, and I never thought I would say that about a language product. There are so many study-at-home language products that are boring and ineffective... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A great first start.
Two years ago my employer required me to begin to learn Mandarin. They had purchased the Original Pimsleur Mandarin Cassettes several years prior to my joining the company. Read more
