"The Pimsleur system is quite simply the best language program I've encountered.  I've tried some of everything, from classroom instruction to flashcards to computer software with pictures, and nothing helped me put the language in context like Pimsleur did.  The lessons are short enough to do a little everyday, and interesting enough to repeat.  The words and phrases the system teaches are real and relevant; the speakers on the CDs are natives; and the narrator is encouraging, easy to listen to, and even funny at times.  I have gone through all three levels of Japanese and now feel confident enough to use my new language in my legal practice.  I've already ordered all three levels of Pimsleur Spanish!"

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed."

-- AudioFile Magazine

"EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE...each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners...Pimsleur [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use -- quite lively!"

-- Boston Herald

"Thanks to Dr. Pimsleur I have acquired a good understanding of French, and French natives always have very positive compliments on my language abilities. The real payoff was years after purchasing the French tapes, I was browsing a bookstore where they was conducting free language tests. As an impromptu joke I pretended to be ignorant of the French tapes and took their free test. After responding correctly to each question, the clerk said, "Are you from France?"

"Learn French while commuting, German while jogging, Spanish (or Russian, Italian, and Japanese) while cooking all with NO WRITTEN MATERIALS!"

-- New York Daily News

"I'm currently using Pimsleur to learn Japanese and Cantonese, and I'm thrilled with my progress. Pimsleur has a truly effective system for learning a language painlessly and effectively. "

--Jennifer Kerns, Gainesville, FL

"Designed for the ear and not the eye...the lessons provide PERFECT 30-minute bites of work."

-- St Louis Post-Dispatch

"Learn to habla español or parlez français before your next trip aboard. The interactive LESSONS CHALLENGE STUDENTS to use new words in conversation instead of memorize them."

-- American Way (American Airlines inflight magazine)

"I tried other language programs with little success...This is the best by far!"

-- Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot, International Society of Women Airline Pilots

“Excellent! These tapes are tremendous for learning to speak a language. They train you to actually think in German – you are not just regurgitating set phrases, but learning to use the language in many different ways!”
