I have tried at least 10 different foreign language study methods for Japanese, Mandarin, French, German, Spanish and Russian. Pimsleur is the best. You are not made to "guess" what a picture is supposed to mean while saying something in a foreign tongue (like Rosetta Stone). You are not made to instantly say complex sentences via rote memorization (like Instant Immersion). You are intelligently given one word at a time and have everything thoroughly explained to you and THEN challenged to recall things from your memory in a conversational context, at a pace you can keep up with. Items are constantly reviewed and put in new contexts so you can actually use the language. There is a lot of science behind it, but I won't bore you with the details. I find using this product to be interesting and confidence-building. And I have listened to every lesson on this and other Pimsleur products. Buy with confidence (By the way, I have no stock in the company, I do not sell this product nor do I have any other vested interest).Read full review
High quality CD still in shrink wrap. This is a superior product than other courses out there. It is easy to do the lessons and I feel that I am learning to speak correctly with a native accent. I am excited to complete the lessons. There is a culture review that also helps with understanding Japanese. I would definately purchase this program over all the other programs.
