Improved approach by Pimsleur

Good Teaching aid
This is just what I wanted, each lesson repeats and builds off the previous lesson. The only thing that drives me a bit crazy is the male and female French speakers have slightly different accents so there are a few words that they pronounce slightly different (and no, I am not talking about how French nouns have a female and male pronunciation, I am talking about the same exact word pronounced slightly different-like how a Texan may pronounce the word Hello and how a New Yorker might say it).

The best conversational language learning tool Iâve used.
This method works so well. You actually learn to speak and conversational French (or whatever language you choose) correctly. Also fun & easy to learn this way.

Willy Lohman –
Just a few lessons will be of great value
I only got through 3 lessons prior to my France trip this week. Should have ordered sooner to prepare but even what I learned in the first 3 lessons was very useful. Highly recommend

No book or written content to clarify.
I like that the conversation taught is pertinent to a traveler. Sometimes difficult to understand. Would be better with written copy of conversations and words. I think visuals add to the learning process.
