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)

Excellent resource, but aimed at an adult audience

I think the method of teaching is very good and effective, and is specifically designed to audio. I did have a problem though. I bought the audiobook to teach Polish to my children. Unfortunately this resource, in common with all others I tried, is aimed at the tourist, and an American tourist in particular. Consequently vocabulary focus is such that kids are plain bored: "I am an American. Are you and American?", street addresses, directions, etc. All quite difficult words to pronounce and not useful to children. It would be wonderful if this method could be adapted for younger listeners.

Great start

Good start to learning polish . ...it was an easy method to follow, learn, repeat and understand

Helpful but too short

This unit was understandable and effective. It broke down pronunciation, repeated words and phrases, and allowed time for me to practice. I wish there was more than one "unit", however, because this unit only teaches one conversation.

Cheated

My God!!!! The worst of the worst.
Even for free, it is the worst. Should avoid downloading it!!!

Only one lesson

Note: Most Pimsleur downloads are five to ten lessons. I hadn't noticed that this is only one.
