Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

fantastic way to learn a language

The structure of this program is fantastic and fits perfectly for my situation. I have a half hour drive to work and each unit is a half hour. Each unit builds on prior ones and you continually incorporate previous vocabulary with new content in a way that you quickly feel competent and confident with the language.

Great intro to Turkish!

This audiobook takes time to work through, but it will have you speaking Turkish with a very convincing accent from day 1! You'll have trouble convincing Turks that your Turkish isn't very good!

Well done

I used Pimsleur to help me master Spanish initially, before arriving in country. Now using Turkish and it is excellent. Definitely worth it!

Excellent!

It was very helpful for me!!! Easy to learn! I recommend this audiobook!!!! I’m very happy!

I can’t recommend this enough.

The Turks are great people my trips to Istanbul have always been exciting and different. The Turks are proud of their language and culture, so do your self a favor and learn the basics. I can’t tell you how much better price negotiations are when your fluent in the basics, and overall experience in turkey was wonderful.

could be better, but not bad

Would you try another book from Pimsleur and/or the narrator?

If you're a visual learner, you can probably find a better language learning series than Pimsleur, but if you do buy this, you will learn, although perhaps not as fast as you could.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The words and phrases that it starts off with are not really the one's I'd tend to start with in a new country. THANK YOU is one of the most important phrases one can know. People appreciate when you can say that even if you can say nothing else. And you'll find you'll use that a LOT!! Additionally, although challenging in a audio-only book, another skill that is vital in Turkey is being able to say the words that one sees spelled out. It helps you learn even when you're not plugged in to the audio book. Obviously Pimsleur's audio-only approach can't help with that.

Do you think Turkish Phase 1, Unit 01-05 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes. It's inspired me to see if I can find a language learning system that is more aligned with the way I learn and use language. I don't mean that in a disparaging way. I just don't think Pimsleur is a good match for me. I'm glad Audible has this and I was able to pick it up in Turkey and listen to it discretely on the tour bus even if I wasn't learning as fast as I might have with another system.

Functional but Very Glitchy

The app does everything it's supposed to do, but it also spontaneously opens ad nauseam.

Poor structure , very limited vocabulary

The same vocabulary is repeated over and over in all lessons , poor structure , what a waste of credit
