I may even actually do it for the fluency practice.Īlso I think it depends on your level. It seems much better and I definitely heard the imperfect Recently Spanish 5 became available online and I had a listen to random 1 minute It's way too easy and I agree with the poor Amazon reviews. I found a copy of Spanish 4 online and started it but didn't getįar. For reasons that aren't really relevant I had to temporarilyĭitch my German and return to Spanish this last 5 months (which made me very sad) and IĬonsidered doing Spanish 4 as a kind of neat way to bring me back up to speed after 2 Message 7 of 112015 14 March at 2:14pm | IP Logged However, I would say that this level is a significant improvement over the earlier levels.

I don't want to sound like a total fan-boy! I use it a lot because it's one of the easiest to use on my commute, but definitely have a love/hate relationship with the course. To be fair: a lot of the five-star reviews are also questionable. I just skimmed through the recordings again: the past and imperfect are the primary tenses used in most of the dialogues. To give one example: the first page has three reviews stating that Phase IV Spanish focuses on the present and rarely uses the past. I'm skeptical of a lot of the negative reviews on Amazon - for some reason Pimsleur attracts a lot of blatantly false posts. The experience I described was the same for Spanish, French, and Italian.
