Daniel, I guess if I'd actually engaged brain before keyboard I might have asked myself why a native speaker of Spanish was learning...... .....Spanish. Andy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've only used Pimsleur Mandarin and Asimil Spanish, so I don't know how Assimil Mandarin and Pimsleur Spanish are, but I don't see why you couldn't start both at the same time, especially if you have the time to do both. Although I think after using both for awhile you might prefer Assimil more and more. I don't think there's anything wrong with Pimsleur I and even II, but I think if you've completed II you would find Assimil a lot more beneficial then Pimsleur III. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I got bored with Pimsleur after Spanish With Ease arrived, so I stopped using it around lesson 10 of Pimsleur III. I may go back and finish it someday, but for now, I'm really enjoying Assimil.

I might just stick with Assimil full time, I like the way it is bite size and I can quickly review previous lessons.
How much have you completed Brent? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am on Lesson 20 today. I have already learned a lot of things in just 3 weeks that Pimsleur didn't teach me in at least 3 months.

Do things start to click? I got the course saturday and I'm up to lesson five, I can understand all the dialogues thus far and I'm repeating and reviewing lessons whenever I have the chance.
It's so relaxed I keep getting anxious about it, but I need to just get on with it, it has had many good reviews. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you go to www.assimil.com all courses are available for around 69 Euros (dependant on tapes or CDs).
I don't know about the English Chinese course. But I'm seriously considering ordering the Chinesisch ohne muhe course, even though my German wouldn't be any use! Has anybody here every used a Assimil course for a native language you do not speak/understand? I'd be really interested to know how you found it? 1 person has voted this message useful |
