The course is imaginative, entertaining and comprehensive... it is challenging and enjoyable at the same time... a wonderfully motivating combination... I did the first level of Pimsleur... it is excellent in so far as it goes... but focuses totally on spoken German without any grammar... it also lacks the speak and listen to recordings of your pronunciation which is an excellent feature... the course has rejuvenated my motivation to work on German... and the price is the best...
