▬ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬
Pimsleur Spanish Review (Is It Worth It?). In this video, John from the Test Prep Insight team covers his review of the Pimsleur Spanish course and app. For this review, John collaborated with an expert linguist who is fluent in five different languages, including Spanish. John covers the major pros and cons of the Pimsleur Spanish program. John talks about how the Pimsluer Spanish course is structured and what their lessons are comprised of. He then talks about what he likes and what he doesn't like about Pimsleur. Topics that come up during this portion of the video include the Pimsleur learning method, their audio lessons and all the drills and exercises they employ. Other topics of discussion include grammar instruction, pronunciation practice and Pimsleur's digital platform and mobile app. Overall, John is a big fan of Pimsluer in general.

My first Pimsleur program was Vietnamese, and at first I did not think it helped me much. After I arrived in Vietnam I soon found out it did help me a lot and I was able to understand a lot of the basic conversation around me, and speak it too. I purchased Pimsleur's Spanish to refresh my Spanish and have also found it to be very helpful. As an added note, I studied Japanese in university, Spanish in Costa Rica, and soon I will be on my way to Mexico to continue my Spanish studies there. German in Germany, and when I was in Vietnam I studied Vietnamese. I think Pimsleur is excellent support material for language learning.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks for sharing Joe. Totally agree

[@TheDragonfriday]

Your review was very balanced and thorough. My daughter is going to Spain for Study Abroad in a couple of months, and despite the last name, she understands some things, but cannot converse. We were on the fence, but after your review I think I’m a little closer to making a decision on a program for her so that she can have some peace of mind with basic language since the trip alone is scary enough for her. Thank you!

[@TestPrepInsight]

No problem Cristy! Glad we could help. Sounds like she's going to have a great time in Spain. Having some conversational Spanish will definitely help :-)

[@marydiggs5668]

Make sure, she is aware that the western hemisphere speaks the Latin American dialect, and Spain speaks the Castilian dialect. I visited there in the early 80’s. I just recently learned about the dialects.

Hi. My friend is giving an excellent online spanish course. He is native speaker. Let me know if you need info.

[@Dana_at_LAX]

Same! I can't tell you how many times I've only had Spanish speaking Uber drivers and or personal clients interested in buying my from my small business - who know no English...and I wanted so badly to speak to them because they were so kind. I primarily felt even worse when I intuitively felt the sense that they just wanted someone else to fluently talk to...it's really not as common as it should be. People move to the US sometimes because of other terrible circumstances they need to escape and it is so foreign to them. The USA is an English speaking country, BUT, Spanish/Espanol comes in second place. It's the same with people in Canada, they should also learn French, as it is the same thing over there essentially as Spanish is to the US. French is the second most common language in thee land of our friendly neighbors. It's important for connection and social skills. It's also healthy for the brain. I've been trying to learn. For starters, I've started labeling household items with sticky notes in Spanish (and also in danish, Hebrew, and German). I was actually raised learning Hebrew so I know how to read it and introduce myself...but it's been so long so it's important that I polish it up and become fluent so that when I visit Israel again, I can have fluent conversations and not just introductory and small talk conversatiosn. I love teaching others things of simple foreign languages..so if you're interested, I also know a variety of other simple Hebrew words.. (ex: Cat - Katool; Butterfly - Par par; Dog - Kelev, Grandma - Arbah; Israel - Yisrael; Hebrew - Eevreet; God - Adonai; Jews - Yehudee; Teacher (feminine) - Morah; Teacher (masculine) - Moreh; I - Anee) and I could go so much further on but...despite this, Spanish is first priority regarding it's importance in the US. Want to keep this already long post short haha. Some 1-10's for fun for language lovers: Hebrew: Achad, Shteim, Shalosh, Arbah, Chamesh, Shesh, Shevah, Shmonah, Taysha, Esser Spanish: Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro, Cinco, Seis, Siete, Ocho, Nueve, Diez I want to learn 5 languages before I die...or even more who knows. One day at a time.

[@gracemaiam3374]

@@Dana_at_LAX lets practice together. I also can teach u indonesians. U can master it in 2 months.

[@KenEnCuenca]

Thanks so much for the reviews. I tried a subscription of Duolingo for a year but it really frustrated me. I'm not a fan of game like apps. My choice came down to Babbel and Pimsleur. I'm living in Ecuador and need to focus on actual conversational skills so I can hear the language. I appreciate your thorough review and I used your link to sign up. Have a great day.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Thanks Ken for sharing and supporting the channel. Hopefully Pimsleur works for you. Personally, I think Pimsleur is great for developing conversational skills quickly.

[@marydiggs5668]

Instead of buying a Level 1 course, Pimsleur offers conversational audio cd’s for all of the popular languages. I saw conversational Spanish on a retailer’s page. If you are in the military, they usually have audio cd’s for that country you are serving in.

[@RicardoGonzalez-fm2yz]

As someone who is probably at an intermediate level of Spanish speaking, I’ve really struggled to find a program/app to take me over the hump to become completely fluent. Hoping to find a good recommendation to get me over that hump.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Hey Ricardo, thanks for watching! Pimsleur would likely be a good option for you to get over the hump. It's a very challenging program, but in my opinion gives people the best chance at hitting that advanced level and becoming totally fluent.

[@smiller3429]

I love your reviews

[@AN0nnyMouse]

@@TestPrepInsight Glad you took it in good humor.

[@paulallen270]

Loved this video. My reason for learning Spanish is that I travel extensively and would like to be able to speak fluently in all Spanish speaking countries, and in areas of the USA that have a proportionately high number of Spanish speakers.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Good reason for learning. Thanks for watching!

[@erineeblu]

I have always liked the language and since I live in California, I feel like it would help me communicate with people more, especially the families of my students.

[@TestPrepInsight]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@DojoOfCool]

This sound like a good method I like the 60 minutes and more conversation. I find listening is the hard part to learn. I especially like the use of some English that you mentioned. I have been doing Rosetta Stone and it's caused me to lose interest because the lack to English to learn what to do. There have been things in RS that come up on screen and I have no idea what to do.

[@TestPrepInsight]

For sure, that's one of the biggest complaints with Rosetta. Pimsleur is not like that all, plenty of English direction. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewross6060]

Great comparison

[@Christensengarden]

Get it used on Amazon. All levels for something like $100. Why get the same thing new for a whole lot more?

[@Jim10082]

great pimsleur's spanish language review

[@HoustonCanuck]

I got Pimsleur at a great deal for the entire Spanish series. I like it, but i use it in conjunction with a few other apps. I don’t like how it just tells you to say something without an explanation why (like why are we using Lo and Su.. no reason given). I think doing both the speaking stuff and the written together, is a good way for me to learn Spanish (1 month in).

[@Elif.-7]

I agree. I started learning spanish with just grammer in my first month and started pimsleur later. I noticed that i would be confused if i haven’t studied any grammer first because they don’t explain many things. But still i love this app because it really makes you talk and have conversations which is the most important thing

[@teamjipper2495]

Pimsleur also offers a straight purchase of their products. Great for those of us who don't subscription plans. Pimsleur is challenging; not for the faint of heart, but effective.

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

Where can you buy it straight? I used to own the CD set and someone stole it been trying to replace it for years. I was only on lesson 8

I just started Pimsleur and they now have voice recognition in the app

[@TLane]

So for me starting (pretty much from scratch) would you recommend this or Babel? Thank you!

[@TestPrepInsight]

Starting from total scratch, I'd suggest maybe starting with Babbel (for some basics), then transitioning to Pimsleur after a few months: testprepinsight.com/go/babbel-review/

[@jillghjgkfdl2418]

I learn best by reading. It would be nice if Pimsleur had captions at the bottom of the screen. I even watch movies and shows with captions always on because I prefer to read - it just registers better. I've found it difficult just sitting there listening to the Pimsleur audio each day, while with Rosetta Stone I haven't had any problems at all. Pimsleur also needs to make much greater use of voice recognition technology; it just feels far more engaging.

[@TestPrepInsight]

I'm doing the Spanish now, 6 lessons in and I'm having to go back and redo lessons because I'm just not at 80% understanding. They do go very fast past lesson 3.... I have to pause and think about the conversations because I just cannot get the words out before they do, and it's spoken so quickly I cannot understand it. I can understand WAY more than I can speak at the moment, but my husband tells me over many months it will click eventually.

Would this help me learn Mexican Spanish? I learned Spanish for a few months on duolingo and when I started talking to my friend from Juarez Mexico, he said I was trying to speak like people in Spain, and I would have a hard time understanding conversations in Mexico. Especially people in casual conversations. It would be like a German learning English from someone in Boston and visiting me in Mississippi. I would be able to understand him, but he would be lost listening to us talk LOL.

[@TestPrepInsight]

Haha, that's pretty typical. Pimsleur actually offers two Spanish courses - one for Latin American Spanish, and one for Castilian Spanish (how the language is spoken in Spain). The Latin American Spanish course would work for you trying to learn Mexican Spanish.

[@Gibson_Branch]

@@TestPrepInsight thanks for the reply!

[@bodybydre1470]

So there are 5 levels with 30 lessons in each level and each lesson takes about 1 hour to complete. So if you commit an hour/day you’ll more or less be fluent in said language after 150 days for ~$21/month. That’s not bad. That’s ~$105 for high speed “fluency” in a language. 👀

[@TestPrepInsight]

For sure! If you can commit an hour per day, that's awesome. Especially since consistency is key when learning a new language. Pimsleur is an awesome choice if you can make that sort of commitment. 👍

[@TestPrepInsight]

Totally agree!

[@CrankCase08]

The Pimsleur Spanish course is good, but what lets it down is the poor quality of the voice actors, who clearly forget (or are not bothered) that they are being listened to by non-Spanish speakers. There are constantly bad examples of these actors - most particularly the male one - pronouncing words too fast, or slurring them together, which often makes it difficult to figure out what is being said. Another issue is that on the recordings, the treble and upper-mid frequencies (2khz - 4khz) are diminished, which destroys the clarity of speech. I was having to transplant, into the files, audio recordings from online translators, which are of better quality! The mp3 files also have occasional transient clicks littered throughout them, which can prove irritating, particularly when they interfere with the words being spoken. Furthermore, after having loaded the lessons into an audio editor and seeing the waveform of the audio files, I found that the hapless audio engineer had failed to apply sufficient (if any) audio limiting, which results in the files being quieter and less defined than they could have been with some professional quality audio engineering. There is clearly too much amateurism involved in the process.
