Pimsleur Review | Completing the Spanish Series

[@ronlugbill1400]

I use Pimsleur for several languages. It definitely works. You will learn to speak the language at a basic level. But you have to be self-motivated because it can be boring.

[@NewportSolar]

I was doing one lesson per day with Pimsleur and found my retention was SOOOOO much better if I did the same lesson daily, but for 3-5 days in a row, then advance to the next lesson. It cements the material in your head. I don’t think one time is enough. My personal opinion. 👍

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

Excellent advice! I think this would be the same for me.

[@hollyhall2904]

it would have been nice for you to talk about the fluency you have personally gained from pimsluer

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Too true, and because I didn't, I'll talk about it here: I think it would be very difficulty to gain any kind of fluency without practice. Pimsleur allowed me to practice daily. I would repeat phrases to myself that either gave me a hard time, or that I liked how they sounded (which allowed even more practice). I have a Spanish tutor that I speak with regularly, and would try out the phrases that I learned from Pimsleur there too. Because I was utilizing multiple tools (Pimsleur, tutor, KZbin, Netflix), I find it tough to distinguish which one has helped "the most". They all kind of work hand-in-hand but getting that first exposure to that many phrases was so helpful. That being said, if I had just done Pimsleur, and nothing else, I doubt that I would be as fluent as I currently am. In addition, Pimsleur gave me more confidence to use the phrases it teaches just because speaking them out loud multiple times, even if just to myself, helped me hear the difference between a native's accent and mine. I hope this helps, Holly! Please let me know if I can clear up anything else, and good luck on your language learning journey!

Next time... I'm doing one on Duolingo coming up and I'll keep this in mind! 💚

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Thanks, Thomas! Pimsleur has a guidebook for reading practice, but as for additional reading, I picked up my favorite book but the Spanish version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Tch6WwetemZtk). It was really difficult because I wasn't yet very familiar with the tense the book was written in, so I would probably choose a children's book with chapters. I'm currently reading the Animorphs in Spanish, which I read as a teenager, and even that is challenging. That being said, even if I don't understand something completely, I'm able to understand enough to follow the story with context. I hope this helps!! 💚

[@jasperoosthoek]

I'm doing the Pimsleur Spanish course right now and I'm about to end the first chapter. It's an older version but it works the same. I have a lot of available time while doing home improvement and I also use it while doing chores in the house. However, I do not do the recommended one lesson a day because it's just not enough repetition for me and I don't care what they say. Instead I do about 5 or 6 lessons a day. For instance, lesson 11 to 16, and then the next day I start at lesson 12, and the next day at 13. So I repeat each lesson 5 or 6 times. I started Pimsleur after only learning Spanish with Dualingo (on the website *not* the app) and any material I could find on KZbin. In the beginning I found it to be extremely challenging to start talking even though the Spanish in the first lesson was extremely basic. But I started to realize that Pimsleur gets you to use parts in your brain related to actual speech. Yesterday while doing the dishes I said to the dinner plates: "Todos nuestros amigos están enfermos. ¿Conoce a un buen médico?". 😆

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Yay! That's awesome that you're feeling more confident speaking Spanish! That's what Pimsleur did for me too (with a little French). I found that I also had to repeat lessons several times before moving to the next lesson. Sometimes the "normal" conversational speed is still too fast for me. Hahahaha Good luck continuing your learning journey!

[@jasperoosthoek]

@@adventurepantsmcgee So you also needed more repetition! The only difference is that I spread repetition across multiple days as repeating the same lesson becomes too boring for me. It might just be a difference in learning style. Just use what works best for you ☺

[@richardfloridaman]

I have used Pimsleur since 2010... I started my language journey in 2006 with Rosetta Stone which was terrible. I'm also a native bilingual speaker of Croatian & English... here I am 35 and I've studied 29 languages through Pimsleur.... and it just works the best for me and into my schedule.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Daaaang That is an AMAZING accomplishment! Do you have a favorite language? It's probably pretty difficult to choose between though...

[@richardfloridaman]

@@adventurepantsmcgee language wise it’s Russian. The easiest for me was French. Which language do you prefer? Now as far as people go… languages taught me everyone is the same and no one is special.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Aside from English and Spanish, I have only had bits of other languages (Portuguese, Italian, French, Japanese, Thai, Russian), and for a long while my favorite was Italian. :) That's a really good lesson to learn from languages...

[@Matecrash]

did you studied chinese?

[@fabiusfidibus]

It feels like pimsleur teaches you a language more naturally. A baby doesn't learn its mother tongue over grammar books and structures. So why not start with a strong base of listening, copying and free speech. It's great, it won't make you fluent completely but I would say you're pretty much able to hold decent conversation after the whole pimsleur lessons.

[@irishickson7311]

Such a good point! I was going to do it alongside textbook type stuff to learn grammar but that made me more daunted

[@thomaspoplawski8467]

I tried a number of the audio courses through my interlibrary loan and finally liked the Pimsleur CD courses the best. I did the 5 lessons and my wife was amazed at how well I did in carrying on conversations when we went to Mexico for vacation. The following year I continued studies with a Mexican tutor on the Italki website, $9 an hour 2x week, and that was vet helpful as well.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Mmm yeah, I still need to try iTalki. I'm so glad Pimsleur was able to help you!! That's awesome!! 🇲🇽

[@PeterJelo]

3 months into learning Spanish - Unit 1 Lesson 25 - I'm more excited than ever to advance in the lessons. For me what Pimsleur has done is create a framework of how to use sentence structure and I'm only on Unit 1. I would definitely say listening to Spanish music or movies and definitely having spanish speaking friends around you to practice enhances the lessons and makes you HAVE to step outside of what you've learned and apply. So, you need to apply it, which means; speak it! (also - I don't listen to 1 lesson per day - when I have to go back to Lesson 2 - I listen as often as I can while doing life/walking/etc, but I'll only do the new lesson max 2x/day if it was a hard one)

[@austecon6818]

My first impression is that it's 10X more practical than duolingo in terns of learning things that will help in real world situations

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Definitely. Duolingo is great for longer-term learning, like vocabulary and grammar. But Pimsleur is so much more practical. 💯

[@brucebanner3566]

I think it depends on the person. I watched an interview with one guy who became fluent in Spanish from pimsleur, but I think most of your learning will come from having tutoring and speaking with others in your target language.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Absolutely. There's a lot to say about actually having to use the language in a real conversation, and getting feedback in the moment. ✨

[@Sam_A_Sam]

Thanks, this was really useful. I especially liked that you have done all 5 levels, as not many people can say that they've done all the levels in the programme. Also, based on your video, I thought you had like hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Hehe

[@diamonddust9889]

I think as long as I can become confidently conversational in my target languages using a program like Pimsleur then I would compliment it with dictionaries, grammar books and watching films, listening to podcasts, music and documentaries in the target language and if possible also conversing with native speakers to continue to build on what I taught myself.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

[@shainewarren1173]

Pro tip for feeling less awkward when repeating out loud in public is to pretend you are talking to someone on the phone. I go for walks when I listen to the audios and do this when I’m crossing paths with someone lol😅

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Omg I had to do this today, too. Felt so International. 🌏🤣

[@AmirHosseinHonardust]

The difficult part is that half or the German words, are profanities and really bad one of those. For example they have "kun" which means ass.

[@pipp33]

I think Pimsleur is pretty great. I already had a pretty strong, basic, foundation in spanish and had a bunch of Audible credits to burn so I bought a bunch of the Pimsleur Spanish lessons and was surprised how much I picked up from it and how easily things stuck just by listening on my way to work.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

I'm glad to hear you're putting some effort into learning Spanish! I'm sure with just being in Colombia, you've picked up a lot more than you think you have. That's amazing that you get to experience the culture there too! It's on my list to visit Colombia. Thanks also for sharing the other apps that you'll be using.

[@sinpisto]

@@jonaskeepauthor1935 That's great. Keep sucking your brain with the language, it will pay off.

How many times did you repeat a lesson to move to the next? I was replaying the same lesson 4 times a day and it took me 3 or 4 or even 5 days to get 90+% right and move to the next.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

For Spanish, I was playing them once a day. But if time passed between lessons (like it had been a few days / weeks / months), then I would do the lesson again. Some languages may be "easier" than others to understand. Spanish, I feel like, was _relatively_ easy as far as pronunciation is concerned. However, I'm currently working on Portuguese, and I will rewind several times throughout the lesson because of the pronunciation, and the phrases are very fast (for me). So I think it's more that I'm repeating several parts within the lesson (many times), rather than repeating the entire lesson. I am curious though - what language are you listening to?

[@alphabravo0]

@@adventurepantsmcgee French. Just finished all 5 levels and it took me two and a half years (around 2 hours per day). Now I am conversational (and that feels really powerful!).

[@alanguages]

@ radi masto, FSI has listed Spanish in category 1 of their ease of languages. That is 575- 600 hrs of classroom hours to reach conversational fluency. Keep in mind FSI also encourages to use the language more so, outside of class when there is an opportunity. Then at least one year in the target language country after training is finished. I hope you don't believe 75 hrs. of any language program (Pimsleur or not) will actually make you fluent in a language.

[@genecahshimronepike449]

@@adventurepantsmcgee I think what he meant to say was that you couldve at least demonstrated the Spanish that you've learned from Pimsleur, during the video, even if you arent fluent. Because this is a Pimsleur review and you studied Spanish using Pimsleur and some reviewers have demonstrations of how they can speak the language after completion or using Pimsleur so that the viewers can at least get an idea about Pimsleur, even if the speaker isnt fluent but at least show some of what you learned from it. Honestly, I was kind of looking forward to that part of your video too, I wanted to hear you speak in Spanish since this is a Pimsleur review video. I use Pimsleur for Levantine Arabic and Im still in the first unit but I also studied Levantine Arabic with other resources, Im considering doing Pimsleur for Spanish too. I already know some Spanish because I speak 2 filipino languages and we have a lot of Spanish borrowed words, I also studied Spanish when I was younger and now Im planning to take Spanish again for college. Thats why I clicked on your video hoping to see that you would demonstrate some Spanish in this Pimsleur review. Just a suggestion, it would be nice if you posted a video speaking/using the Spanish that you learned from Pimsleur as part of your Pimsleur review.

[@genecahshimronepike449]

@@alanguages I think he just wanted to see a demonstration of the reviewer using the language, since this is a Pimsleur review Afterall. Spanish is faster to achieve compared to Arabic which is a level 5 category according to FSA and takes 2200 hours. But 75 hours is also a huge investment for anyone, and especially people who are busy and some people want to see the results from others who's already completed the program before they decide to commit to something. I spent more than 100 hrs studying Levantine Arabic with diff resources, and I also use Pimsleur for Eastern Arabic and I'm considering using it for Spanish. I already know some Spanish because I speak Cebuano and Tagalog, and I took Spanish when I was younger. But Im planning to study it again for college. Thats why when I saw this video, I was expecting to see at least demonstration of the Spanish knowledge the reviewer gained after completion of the units, even if she's not fluent.

Thank you so much for sharing your review! Your review is one of the only reviews I could find of all five levels.

I don't know what language you are learning, but at least for Spanish, the difference between the five levels described on the Pimsleur website under the "What You’ll Learn" of each of the following pages. Each language has a similar page just in case you're learning a different language, but I just wanted to show you an example, and the difference between them is way too long for one comment. 😆 Good luck on your continued learning!

There was a user's guide at the beginning of a set of lessons which recommended that if you're responding correctly about 80% of the time, then you're ready to move on to the next lesson. It also recommended choosing a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, and not doing two lessons in a day. Personally, I would repeat the lesson until closer to 95%.

Why didn't you finish 80 hrs. of Pimsleur Spanish? All you had to do was finish the Spanish Plus 10 Lessons. Only four languages had the Plus. (Spanish, French, Italian, German) Adding vocabulary dealing with the publishing world could be used if you specifically bring it up.

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

On the Pimsleur website that I was looking at (www.pimsleur.com/learn-spanish-latin-american/lifetime-subscription/), only 5 Levels were available. 5 levels * 30 lessons each * 30 minutes per lesson = 75 hours Buuuut it sounds like I missed something somewhere? Where can I find Spanish Plus?

[@alanguages]

@@adventurepantsmcgee Unfortunately, the plus was discontinued when the actual level IV was released. The plus was unofficially level 4 for many years. The vocabulary focused on the publishing industry. A reason why customers did not want to use it. Uncommon words.) The top four languages (Spanish, French, Italian and German) were the only ones that ever had them. Edit: You can type the name Spanish Plus on a search engine and look up the images. You can see the cover of the 10 cd set.

@@adventurepantsmcgee One more thing. You could also technically have done a 155 hrs. of Pimsleur Spanish. Latin American Spanish Levels I, II, III, IV, V, + (80 hrs.) Castilian Levels I, II, III, IV, V (75 hrs.) 80 hrs. + 75 hrs. = 155 hrs. of Spanish overall. There is redundancy, but if you do like the method, then that would be just solidifying what you learned and learn some new words specialized with Spain and conjugating verbs that use Vosotros. The familar plural form. I actually intend on doing this myself.
