Is there anyone who has used Pimsleur Unlimited?
I see an ad on youtube that says you can schedule online audio chat room.
What activities do they do in the chat room?
Do you think that Pimsleur Unlimited is worth the money? (Since it is more expensive than the download option)

One of the two major irritants of the Pimsleur Method is not the lack of complete transcriptions, as often cited by many users; rather, it is the absence of a simple glossary per lesson unit. As a result, the learner must acquire a dictionary along with book of verbs and painfully look up every new word, which includes every new verb conjugation. The Unlimited version addresses this issue by providing, per lesson unit, a glossary of new vocabulary along with example phrases, as well as some simple on-screen exercises. With the Unlimited version, you can still download the mp3 audio files and use them separately from the software. In my view, the Unlimited version is worth the minor difference in price when compared to the mp3 download as it removes a source of irritation. Then again, they could have solved this problem by simply providing a downloadable pamphlet!

Thanks so much Speakeasy.
Is there anyone has any experiences with the "Engage" sections? If it's a one-on-one tutoring chat, it will be great.
Or is it not a big deal?
