Ratings and Reviews
Excellent language teaching
Because the learning is auditory, it forces you to learn actively. Instead of learning things because they are explained to you, you learn them by intuiting the patterns from what you experience. I have learnt a lot of French in a month, and my accent is way better than when I struggled through it at school.
I’ve found it really exciting and enjoyable. I developed a confidence that the Pimsleur system would teach me what I need when I need it, so I relax and enjoy the lessons instead of worrying about remembering everything or doing it perfectly.
Having previously used Pimsleur on library audio recording alone, I have to say that the app’s extra written materials are a great addition and help link you into the written language as well as allow you to discover grammatical distinctions which aren’t audible. Most days I did the lesson on a morning walk, the written materials later on, and sometimes I would repeat the lesson. Walking really helped me learn effectively. Personally I don’t think it’s safe to use when driving because it takes too much concentration to leave you able to drive safely/optimally.
Overall, very efficient and effective system, a world away from school learning, focuses on you getting a good grasp of the 20% of the language that is used 80% of the time and thus having the best functional fluency you can for the time you’ve put in.

Slightly dated but very effective
I want to learn German because my wife speaks German and two of my cousins and their families live in German speaking countries. What I found is that this course gets you speaking very quickly and in a way that makes sense to German speakers. One of my cousins actually complimented me on my German the other day, despite my not having studied it for a couple of weeks over Christmas. Apparently my pronunciation is spot-on.
So what are the drawbacks? Not much really yet it is based very much upon business situations. It assumes, for instance, that you will have a secretary and that your main need is to have a business vocabulary for customers, trade fairs, hotel chains and important meetings. This is a world that was disappearing even before COVID-19 yet I still think this course is remarkably good at getting you to speak a language and subconsciously absorbing its very strange rules. There are three genders, for instance, and the verbs seem to always go on the end of any sentence. If the other language courses are anywhere near as good then this is a must buy: it’s swift and effective – but it can get a little repetitive.
Phenomenal
I started using the app just yesterday to learn Tagalog since I plan to visit the Philippines and it has blown me away. Each and every word is taught how to be pronounced and it’s repeated multiple times during a lesson so it really does stick in your head and allows you to be able to answer questions just after the first lesson. The flash cards, mix & match, reading, speaking and speed round features are so very useful aswell, they help you cement everything you have learnt in the lesson. The lessons itself are only 30 minutes long which I think is perfect, it’s short enough that you can have your lesson before work in the mornings or just before bed at night. Short, concise and to the point. I can’t even explain how much I love this app. Thank you PimSleur !!
