Critic reviews

"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)

Great way to learn Polish

Great way to learn on daily commute to work and while traveling around anywhere.

The way to go

Thought I was not capable of learning new languages until I tried this approach. Stick with it. Repeat lessons until you know them 100%. And it works better than you could ever have expected. Some pronunciation from the speakers can get a bit confusing though all in all they do a very good job - limit looking up the written equivalent unless you are really stuck. Then one day break out a few sentences of a random language to your friends and family and watch their expressions.

BEST WAY TO LEARN A LANGUAGE

These lessons are so much more useful than other apps. I’ll do hours of DuoLingo, but it doesn’t seem to help in the real world.

Quick and Simple!

I checked out Pimsleur "Quick and Simple" polish from my work library... similar to this, it is an audio based program... Units 1-5 are almost an exact copy of "quick and simple", but the remaining programs take you from there. I take the lessons on my drive to and from the office (lessons are usually ~30 minutes) and best done when alone in the car. The program teaches you phrases which you repeat (often) in the context of a conversation. My Husband is polish, and is amazed that just on lesson 8 I am able to have short conversations regarding country of orgin, language, directions, meals, etc. If speaking polish is your ultimate goal - this is the way! I have struggled with other programs (including rosetta stone), but am excited to complete all 30 of the available Pimsleur lessons. I highly recommend this series.

Great resource for language learning

Highly recommended! Great narrator. Gives clear instructions for learning pronunciation. Very helpful. It is good to listen to instructions in first chapter about how to best profit from the course.

great method for learning polish or any language!

if you follow these pimsleur systems, it will greatly improve your ability learning languages! I'm continuing this course!

Great way to start speaking a few Polish phrases!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a good method to get you started quickly speaking and understanding a few simple Polish phrases.

What did you like best about this story?

It's very enjoyable to learn another language, and these phrases were a good and practical place to start.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voices spoke clearly and it was well presented.

Any additional comments?

The only thing I wish is that each unit covered a little bit more content, or that more units were included in one book.

It's worth the investment.

I also have Rosetta Stone. But with Pimsleur I actually know what I am saying. If you want to start SPEAKING a language within a week or so, then Pimsleur is definitely it. My only con with Pimsleur is that there are no texts. I purchased this via Audible.

It really teaches you

Love the pronunciation and grammar remarks the narrator makes.

They teach you practical things you’ll use your first days in Poland.

it's good

my wife is a native polish speaker and confirmed the accuracy of everything.

I felt I learned well
