Mowgli is right. Pims is some boring shyt. Best method is immersion in something you enjoy. I play Final Fantasy Tactics in español every day on my emulator. :lawd:

I can't stand websites with people trying to prove that a LEARNING experience is a scam. Some people may prefer something else over this but people trying to come up with reasons to blame the program and not them in most cases is stupid.

I can attest to the Pimsleur Approach program as I have been using this almost daily to learn Spanish.

So far I've completed the first part of the program and am 19 lessons in on the second part.

It's funny I can read/write a little in Spanish and understand some spanish depending on how fast they're talking.

I didn't know a lick of spanish besides the usual "hola," "Buenos diaz", or w/e. Now I feel confident enough to say a few things to people in Spanish(though I may err a few times.)


It's not some magic trick, they simply start you off with hearing a convo in Spanish and then then go through what each word meant. Then they gradually advance up to bigger words and more complex sentences and they constantly remind you of older terms so you don't forget it.

No you won't be speaking like a native speaker but using this coupled with some people/friends who can help you and exposure to the language you want to learn you'll be fluent in no time. I even have my Vita/PS3 in Spanish most of the time.

Si yo peudo hacerlo, tu puedes hacerlo lo tambien!
I can't type with the accents so I fukked up.

Pimsleur is good but

I had a hard drive crash.
I picked up a lot of spanish especially
when he related English words to their Romantic cousins.

I dled a few of these a few years ago as a test. I'm not sure it was better than Rosetta Stone. It's not bad, though. It's mostly phrase-based learning, and then because of the individual words showing up in more than one phrase, you supposedly learn the grammar, word meaning, etc. at once while also learning practical phrases from the get-go. It's not some 10-day magic, believe me, but it seemed like a solid learning method. I still prefer Rosetta Stone, though, because it's more comprehensive and uses image association which I think probably works better for some people, myself included, plus teaches you how to pronounce properly using that meter that tells you if you said a word properly into the microphone or not.

Have you tried Pimsleur?

I remember hearing rosetta stone has you memorizing a lot of phrases and words
then having you recite them back but they may not teach you how
to put them in the correct order (grammatically speaking)
that may have changed though since I last checked :ld:

I'd use pimsleur and Michel Thomas side by
side first then go for Rosetta stone if
you're really serious because it costs
way more than either course (if you decide to buy
the courses that is :scheme: )

This guy I watched a while back is pretty good at
explaining the differences between Pimsleur and Michel :



He also shows how well he's able to speak some
of the languages he's learned through the methods (pimsleur in particular)
He's pretty damn good :ld:

This goes over some of the weak points of Rosetta
Stone :

I just d/l the Michele Thomas for french, its not bad.

While I knew some of the verbs from beforehand, it doesn't focus on the conjucates. It really helps construct sentences
