The publisher does, indeed, monitor the Internet, including this language forum. Furthermore, the publisher considers the publication of such materials to be a violation of its copyright and is prepared to take legal action against anyone circulating said transcripts. Simon & Schuster, the current holders of the copyrights to the Pimsleur method, does not supply “transcripts” of its programs. I’m sorry, but there has been a slight misunderstanding here, for which I bear the entire responsibility. However, I have to admit that more than a few times I have had the urge to visualize the spoken words in the Pimsleur course.Īs an aside, my two recurring weaknesses are 1) Quickly recalling the correct verb before infinitives (can, go, do), and 2) using tienes instead of tengo about half the time (probably because I identify with the male speaker?) Since these are 'unofficial', how might they be used? I do plan to start a different course in the near future (maybe ), probably a 1960s Linguaphone and/or a 'bird's eye grammar overview' text. Speakeasy had mentioned that there are some transcripts available, at least for the first level. I believe that I am at Pimsleur's 80% target, may be a bit higher, so I plan to move on to Spanish II when the CDs arrive.

I did manage to listen to at least one lesson on Saturdays and Sundays. I have now completed the first level on my daily commutes, 16 lessons in about 21 days.the first ten or so lessons twice a day, the latter six more like two days each. It’s ,Eng-“ and not ,Ing-“.In another thread about laddering, I mentioned that I was starting with Pimsleur Spanish (fortunately I have access to library copies, at least for the first two or three levels). Pay attention to the beginning of the word. Now he wants to ask her if she understands English. Be sure you repeat aloud.ĭid you repeat? Try it again after this speaker. You are to repeat each part, starting from the end, trying to make your pronunciation sound like his. The German speaker is going to repeat this, part by part, starting from the end. He wants to begin a conversation, so he says, “Excuse me”: Imagine an American man sitting next to a German woman.

In the next few minutes, you will learn not only to understand this conversation, but to take part in it yourself.
