Pimsleur method is amazing

I was so tired of apps where I had to type or write things. It's not only difficult and time consuming it's not the most effective method. Pimsleur is learning by listening and speaking, with new material repeated at intervals that help you retain it. I would recommend this method to anyone.

Good and helpful but so fast

I have found this book helpful. I had to listen to it at 0.7 speed though to have time to think about the responses. But as I practice the lessons I can work through them at closer to full speed.

I have already been able to use some of what I have learnt on my German holiday. (Planning to work through the subsequent lessons ASAP).

Expensive for the small amount of German taught

The method and content is excellent but not really value for money given the small amount of German taught per audio book for the price. Would be good if there was a book you could purchase containing 20 lessons at a time for example rather than just 5 x 30 min lessons per audio book.
