I always use Pimsleur when starting to learn a language. It really helped me become conversational in Mandarin and other languages. It helps with intonation and pronunciation from the beginning. It's a shame that some languages have more levels than others. It would have been nice to continue to level 2 in Hungarian or Romanian for example. And some languages only have the first 10 lessons. Above was written in 2024. Still no additions to the program. I'm still using it but thinking of stopping.

Solid service, it's so healthy for your brain, plus it's cool to speak Spanish, French, German, and Italian, I feel like the aristocrats of old who could speak 4 languages

Great and effective learning method. Well worth the money. I just wish they had more than one Turkish level.

I subscribed for 1 month to try on the full version rather than try on the 7 day for free. I do like this app a lot, but the problem is my subscribed not even expire yet. Today I open the app for continuous learning a new chapter. The app shows as like I'm a new user. I try to log in, click on forgot password bla bla bla nothing happened. When I can't log in, I can't contact Pimsler to help me.

Several problems in the first two lessons: 1st, actors speak with Italian accent that requires more time to process. 2nd, app introduces reciprocal speaking, I understand vs you understand. Different words for similar meaning (the app bounces you back and forth between the 2 endless). 3rd, app introduces masculine and feminine forms of the words, 4th, the app introduces polite vs causal speaking which omits words. No Buena.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I was considering several different options to learn spanish and signed up for these apps free trial. I ended up choosing a different option and canceled my subscription to pimplier on the last day of my free trial. However, two days later I received a charge for my pimsleur subscription. I reached out to customer service, and they refused to reimburse me "stating they don't provide refunds for subscriptions" Terrible customer service, mediocre app.
