Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place for this.
I'm trying to track down a German learning series I found a few years ago- it was a collection of audio files I downloaded under the title of "pimsleur German". The files were a collection of short lessons by a native German speaker teaching the specific rules for translating English words into German based on common roots, and rules for speaking with proper grammar and tense. Everything was explained in terms of common sense. Thanks in advance for any help locating this. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound like the Pimsleur series. I think elvisrules is right that Michel Thomas is the more likely candidate.

Choscura, you can check whether elvisrules is right by checking the sample on the Michel Thomas website at www.michelthomas.co.uk/soundclips.htm

Thanks to all the helpful replies. I'm downloading Michel Thomas to check, but I think the name sounds familiar.

I know this is just discussion, and I'm not accusing anyone, but be careful because I'm
certain administrator makes it clear he doesn't want this forum to become a place to swap links for illegal downloads (and legal in some places but still private copies!). Of course if it's a series of audio made by a native speaker designed for download, that's perfectly fine. But if it turns out to be either Pimsleur or Michel Thomas or any other copy protected programme, this isn't the right place to discuss it.

Hi there - I too think it sounds like Michel Thomas. But I have never seen it available to purchase and download - only ever as a CD set.
They actually have example lessons on their official website to download so that you can 'try' out his program. I am guessing this is actually what these guys are linking to. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes, my link was the official page where a free sample (1 CD's worth) is available.
Legal downloads can be purchased from audible.co.uk, although their downloads are copy protected which means you have to have a Audible-compatible MP3 player... and most people don't. 1 person has voted this message useful |
