Yes but you speak both English and German and study Icelandic, all part of the same language family as Swedish. Much as maybe one who knew French and Romanian and studied Italian might understand a lot of Portugese. Which I've also said a bunch of times, those who can learna language passively with relative ease usually know other branches of that language family.

Pimsleur teaches very important words such as "beer" "wine" "rib steak", or if you don't drink alcohol "mineral water". It may not teach you everything, but certainly taking the Pimsleur course will make traveling somewhat easier. edit: at least you can get something to eat or drink... Anyway, spelling "Pimsleur" wrong might indicate that the writer doesn't have the course. I do think that "Pimpluer" is a good modification of the course name though :) Edited by tpark on 18 July 2009 at 9:43pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

This is an interesting method. I've noticed from using FSI that
1. I get burned out 2. I don't get alot of listening practice with it. I have a hard time understanding even the amount of vocabulary that I covered already. However I can speak the learned vocabulary good. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Whatever works, I guess! I've heard of people doing this, and I know people who have
learned Spanish in less than a year. The founder of this forum for goodness sake learned Spanish in a year! It is possible, and it seems like this method was useful to healing. There's really no need to criticize the method... it's been successful in more cases than just the OP's. And in addition, I think that's pretty good Swedish for only studying a little while! (I don't speak Swedish, but I have studied some Scandinavian languages and gather that healing is reading, on the contrary, from a rather complex book and is pleased with his progress.) Now, what did you write, Cordelia, cuz I don't have a clue :P I have a guess, but it seems a tad rude. Anyway, just my two cents. And thanks for sharing, I'm sure some people will try your method and find it useful. For others not so much, but that's no reason to insult someone who's trying to contribute in a positive manner. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
