Hi guys!
A couple of months ago I got through Pimsleur Spanish and it really helped me starting out with that language. Since I liked it so much, I decided to try the Pimsleur German, but now I'm in trouble: the first of the three parts of Pimsleur German is almost gone (tomorrow I'm going to finish the 30th lesson of the part 1) but soon I won't be able to continue it for 3-4 days because I'm going on a trip with my school. What should I do? Is it a good idea to stop using Pimsleur for so many days? Should I do the 3 lessons I would miss before going on that trip? Should I just put them off? Thanks in advance! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

When you return, listen to the open dialogues of about 5 lessons back. If you remember the words, contine with a new lesson. If you do not remember, begin with the first lesson you do not remember the words of the opening dialogue.
I would not recommend doing 3 lessons at once. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Perfect, it didn't sound good to do 3 lessons at once to me either, I think I'll follow
your advice, thank you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

A 3 day break after you've complete 30 is probably fine. I personally wouldn't repeat any lessons. Edited by Wulfgar on 08 May 2012 at 7:57am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Mmh, the thing is that my trip is going to begin on Monday, while today I finished the
first of the 3 parts of the course and tomorrow I'm beginning the second part, so I have to repeat a couple of lessons because I'll stop studying when I've alread got through some lessons of the second part. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

All 90 lessons are basically continuous. If it makes you feel better to repeat, go ahead and do it. But I doubt it will
make a difference one way or the other. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It still blows my mind anyone ever does all 90 lessons of Pimsleur, haha.
I have dabbled in a few different ones in the past since my library has a bunch. They just seem like they'd get SO boring after maybe 30, tops. I wonder where the point of diminishing returns is. 1 person has voted this message useful |
