Ive used the app for over a month and i really like the way Pimsleur teaches. I'm learning Japanese and started the beginning lessons even though I'm a little past beginner level. Pimsleur is really good at helping you be more comfortable with speaking and forming sentences. my suggestions in japanese are to include lessons on plain way of speaking and not just the polite way. I really wish I could learn the plain way to speak and more vocabulary.

I've only been using this for two days but I've used other language programs and this gives you a lot more for your money. I love that it starts you out with speaking and listening practice from the very beginning. I struggle the most with listening comprehension. Danes speak very quickly though so I'll see how much it helps in the context of real life. Update: I finished all 30 lessons of Danish and the enrichment exercises and I'm so sad there isn't more. I love this method though.

Ok, I'll be honest, I've only tried lesson 1, but I really enjoyed it! I wanted to try pimsleur because of its rep in speaking practice, something other apps underperform in. Unfortunately, I looked at the pricing and oof! it's so ridiculously expensive it's ludicrous. The subscription is monthly and gives you access to all languages at all levels, or you can purchase one level for one language for hundreds of dollars. no in-between. how about an affordable subscription for just one language?
