There are already many other detailed and helpful reviews, so I'll keep mine simple. Buying this product for $25-$35 is well worth the money. No, you're not going to become fluent from $30 software. But they do a pretty good job,... read full review | report as inappropriate
While the Pimsleur method remains solid, this series accentuates the product's weaknesses. It's very, very basic, so if you know any Spanish you'll be frustrated. It also encourages you to call Spanish by its Castillian name, but avoids... read full review | report as inappropriate
Not so sure about this "program". On one hand it is well organized and I feel like it presents the material and challenges the student quite well. BUT It really needs supplemental text. I used it for a week and had been pronoucing... read full review | report as inappropriate

Just started using this program and have two comments. The process is very slow but it provides very good verbal break down of each word so it's easy to hear and understand. read full review | report as inappropriate
I like the recording very much. But without any written material, it's very difficult to figure out the pronunciation and spelling of words. It's not a complete course without written material but can be used to supplement other learning methods. read full review | report as inappropriate
This CD set is a great way to receive a simple exposure to the musicality (?) of the Italian language. The Italian language has a flow to it, like music. It is to Spanish what an Irish brogue is to English, if that helps. This CD set will not... read full review | report as inappropriate

I was born in Brazil, but my parents were Italians. So we spoke only Italian at home. I've been married for 10 years now and my wife was always complaining about how difficult it was to speak Italian. She claims that she understands almost... read full review | report as inappropriate
I ordered the product 6-10-07 and to date have not received the item. I have tracked the item and the best I can figure is it was never put into the mail. I can not get to someone at Amazon in order to get help to resolve problem. read full review | report as inappropriate
No doubt about it, you'll learn Italian from these 8 CD, unfortunately the vocabulary is so limited that it will not help you in Italy. You may learn how to say I drink, but not know how to ask for water, or a glass of water. You'll learn how to... read full review | report as inappropriate

I am planning a trip to Brazil next summer to see friends so I thought I would brush up on my Portuguese to surprise them. I spent some time there as a foreign exchange student in high school a million years ago and already spoke a little (very... read full review | report as inappropriate
I have went through 7 out of the 10 lessons so far. It has really helped me to "master" the materials that I have learned from the training. I am not really good at studying a new language, but I found this training program very easy to follow.... read full review | report as inappropriate
The only reason I am giving this item 3 stars is because it does not come with a booklet manual that one can follow along. I have started listening to the cd's; it is like doing it blindly. It might useful for the non visual learner. Bit for me I... read full review | report as inappropriate
I think this is a good way to start learning Chinese, but I wish that this product had also had a written text with it, so that I could have also used visual learning. This would have made it a stronger product for me. However, I am... read full review | report as inappropriate
I really like the Pimsleur series. What you learn sticks pretty well due to the repetition. However, Mandarin is just so ridiculously complex and different from English, that trying to learn it just through CD's is almost a joke. read full review | report as inappropriate

This is the first French language product that has been an effective tool for me to actually learn French. I've taken local classes, used Rosetta Stone, and purchased Smart French audio CDS. Yes...I am an old dog and its very hard for me to... read full review | report as inappropriate
8 hours of cd's, and a nice bonus cd holder...and you will learn about ten different pick-up lines (or, how to recognize that the woman does *not* want to go for a drink with you). After 8 hours of (granted, well-articulated) repetition, you will... read full review | report as inappropriate
Pimsleur's Conversational French CDs are very easy to use and convenient. We keep them in the car because we are there often. Everyone joins in repeating the phrases. Most of the sentences are ones that you would use in getting about a French... read full review | report as inappropriate
I have studied about ten different language programs and this one is by the far the best one I've ever used! I learned more in a fast amount of time and retained more then anything else. I would recommend this product not only to travelers but... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book is a great introduction for those who have some German language exposure already. However, for those who want to actually make progress in speaking in conversation beyond the usual, "I live in Zurich" and "I'm doing well," go with... read full review | report as inappropriate
