So YaвЂ“I mean, boredstratikhstahistikerвЂ“IвЂ™ve been getting these lessons illicitly? I knew something was up with that within-a-week self-destruction sequence. Interesting! Yakov, you will make a great linguist! Now I want to try PimsleurвЂ¦ I would actually consider myself a visual learner in general, but sometimes with language itвЂ™s better to remember stuff audially, since that is, after all, how it comes out when youвЂ™re speaking. Maybe IвЂ™ll blog about this.Д¬ongrats on all your Pimsleur achievements!ДЇunny you should say that. This is something which is a problem in my classesвЂ“ I tend to teach in a visual way, too, and not all learners are visual, which you donвЂ™t seem to be, for example. IвЂ™m a definite visual learner, so learning by audio doesnвЂ™t work for me unless I can also see the word (or imagine it in my head, if IвЂ™m familiar with the phonetics and the alphabet (like with Spanish)).

And as long as weвЂ™re keeping track, I just got through the first 1350 words on my Russian frequency list.

I listen to these on my Ipod as I go about my life doing various things, and also to Podcasts IвЂ™ll talk about some other time. By the way, IвЂ™m on lesson 12 of Spanish III (that is, the 72nd lesson). And mostly on the basis of Pimsleur and my Yiddish, I can have a pretty decent conversation in German. Overall, though, Pimsleur is as good a way to begin learning a language as any IвЂ™ve come across.

Are most people going to foreign countries engineers who play golf? I donвЂ™t get it. For some reason, you always learn the words for вЂњengineerвЂќ (before all other jobs, I think), вЂњtennisвЂќ and вЂњgolfвЂќ but so far not any other sports, and so on. When youвЂ™ve done as much Pimsleur as I have, you start seeing the patterns.

This is kind of bizarre.В I donвЂ™t know if this is also the case for other Plus packs, but I suspect it is. I learned the words for вЂњpublishingвЂќ, вЂњaudiobookвЂќ, вЂњeditorвЂќ, вЂњauthorвЂќ, вЂњpublishing houseвЂќ, вЂњbookstoreвЂќ, вЂњbooksellerвЂќ, вЂњbestsellerвЂќ, and so on. I donвЂ™t know why they do this instead of continuing to introduce vocabulary of general use. For some reason, all the vocabulary was based around the publishing industry. Then, for some languages, there is a вЂњbonusвЂќ pack of ten lessons. So far IвЂ™ve gone through Pimsleur Portuguese and Russian, each with 90 half-hour lessons, and today I finished the 100th (and last) lesson of Pimsleur German! Every 30 lessons are grouped together (e.g., Russian I is lessons 1-30, Russian II lessons 31-60, etc.) until 90. I would begin learning a language using Pimsleur (if available), using Anki intermittently as you encounter specific vocabulary you want or need to know, and then when youвЂ™re done with Pimsleur, continue with Anki using, in addition,В a frequency list (if available) to make the most of your vocabulary building energies. In the end, IвЂ™m not really sure why IвЂ™m framing this as a comparison between Pimsleur and Anki, since theyвЂ™re not mutually exclusive alternatives, but both valuable components to your language learning. Similarly, you donвЂ™t get to personalizeВ what you learnВ as you can with Anki.
