For example, Pimsleur has often advertised that you can learn your new language to an intermediate level in 30 days. Pimsleur (and others marketing their products) often make marketing claims that are wildly unrealistic. The most important reason Pimsleur language programs work is that Pimsleur uses something called “spaced repetition.” I explain spaced repetition in the detailed review below. If you are one of the many people trying Duolingo, you may want to read why Duolingo is a slow way to learn. For example, you may want to read my reviews of Rosetta Stone. There are some competitors I never recommend.
Other competitors that I sometimes recommend are Yabla (for intermediate and advanced learners) and Fluenz (for people who want to prepare for an in-person class). I liked Pimsleur back then, and I still like it, even though I now make a competing language learning product. I had my first language-learning success with Pimsleur. Keep reading this review to learn about faster programs that are available for some languages. Summary of this Pimsleur review: Pimsleur is often boring, but you’ll always learn something.įor beginners, Pimsleur is definitely worth your money and your time.
