Paul Pimsleur

When I first began this Pimsleur language program, I would frequently listen to some lessons more than once in order to fully understand the material 100%. I used to think this way back in college too, and I can tell you it's a hindrance. Sure, if there's a difficult concept, then some review is warranted. But most of the time I would say that once you think you've 75-80% got it, move on and the rest will take care of itself.

I'll never forget when I completed this lesson—and at the time I didn't have access to the additional Spanish IV lesson—I searched online for what language program to use next. Overwhelmingly, the reply was, "Start speaking Spanish."—a frightening and obvious answer. And the right answer.

Thank you Pimsleur Method for giving me the confidence to make mistakes as I learn to speak Spanish. Now it's time I take my learning out into the real world.
