About the Author

Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles:  the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called “Graduated Interval Recall.”  This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs.

If you want something that understands that it takes the repetitiveness of these words to get the language, then buy this product. I listen to it going to work and comming home and in that short time, I've learned enough to hold a conversation. This summer we are getting Polish exchange students at my Job, and I thought learning alittle would help in the long run.

This review is from: Polish, Q&S: Learn to Speak and Understand Polish with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)

If you listen to the audio and repeat and attempt to speak when you are asked to, you will make progress.
There is nothing in print. It's a good idea to get a good dictionary.
You will get out of this course what you put into it. Attempt to speak as much as you can.
The authors should consider making a few changes in the next edition:
1. They should supply a transcript.
2. It is repetitious. It should not repeat easy things so much.
3. Lesson 5 suddenly throws a lot of new words at you and doesn't repeat them enough.
4. The words for "Castle", "eat", "something" are unintelligible.
5. There should be more explanations of grammar. For example, there are two ways to say "and": "i" and "a". The course should explain when to use one or the other.
