Good Value Phrasebook
4
James Baloni from London - 19 Nov 2007
This is a good value phrasebook for Korean. The format is as follows: English word/phrase, Korean equivalent, short break, Korean equivalent. This allows you to speak along the audio. This audio is the ideal companion to the Collins GEM Korean phrasebook. If you also have the phrasebook, you can read these phrases (in Korean script if you prefer; a little browsing is required, though, since the book is not just the transcript or vice versa), but the audio works brilliantly on its own. In contrast to other audio programmes, this one is sensitive towards the particularities of Korean (e.g. the two number systems, or the fact that "goodbye" is different depending on whether you stay or leave). The programme uses useful grammar rules which are explained in accessible language. The audio quality is good, and the speakers are easy to understand. The first time a word is said in Korean, it is spoken more slowly than in the second instance. Apart from the shortness of the programme, the only aspect that could have been done better - in my view - is splitting the tracks in a way that you don't have to listen to the grammar explanations every time when all you want to simply revise phrases. However, grammar explanations are generally short and most of the audio comprises of words and short phrases. The contents are geared towards the traveller, and less towards a business traveller.

The Pimsler method is such a success, because people who have failed miserably at learning foreign languages with other methods can finally realize their dream and speak a second language within a short time. This is because this language study system uses our natural ability to pick up a new language by listening and being exposed to it. It's the same mechanism we use to learn our first language when we are kids. Also, listening to the Pimsluer audios is similar to living in the country among native speakers. Different accents and different voices teach you the melody of the language and you automatically learn how to pronounce the words correctly.

So, why not considering learning more than one additional language? Check out the audios below, there is a large choice of different foreign language audios available from Pimsler:

What customers say about the Pimsler audios:

 

The Pimsleur courses are a very, very good starting point for learning a new language. A common problem that most people have is going through rote exercises, getting to a certain point in the language, quitting, and never really learning anything. These courses are interesting, consistent, and engaging enough so that that very major hurtle shouldn't be a problem. Also, because it's an entirely oral/aural course, if you actually repeat everything as instructed, by the end of level 3 you are going to have a comfort level with speaking that most courses (and even college classes) won't give you. - C. P. Leroy

I purchased this to learn some Chinese to help me when exchange students visited. I spent about 2 weeks with it. I haven't re-visted it since then. I progressed well using this during my commutes between home and work. I recommend this for folks that want to learn Chinese "passively" while working out (I-Pod) or durring a commute. Learning to read and write, etc., would require something with a workbook. -- G. Thommas

-----

The following comments come from a rank beginner. I have had no prior study of German at school or otherwise. 

When you hear the quality of the recording, the professional speakers on this audio (4 different speakers, three native Germans and one American narrator), and realize the research that went into its design, you would expect it to cost much more. It is difficult to compare, but I would guess this course to be equivalent to about one semester of college German. The difference is in the focus. It is about getting as much useful language as quickly as possible, and the focus on travel vocabulary: How far to Berlin? How much does a beer cost (it's German, you have to have a beer!)? How do you get to Goethe Street, etc.

But where the course really shines, is how they've hidden the complex grammar of German in simple questions and answers. You learn the way a child learns his first language, by "feeling" what sounds right in a sentence. Each lesson is a strong challenge. Not hard enough to make you quit, and not easy enough to get boring, but keeps you reaching and concentrating. I believe many studies have found this delicate balance to be the most effective in language learning. I did most lessons two or more times with good results. They suggest moving on when you get about 80% of the lesson.  -- Art Lover, Colorado, USA
