While reviewing as much old threads about Pimsleur courses (and everything about them) as possible, I bumped into a reference to a little program called Gradint that supposedly would allow one to make his own tailored/extended versions of Pimsleur-like GIR-based audio material. Has anyone actually done something with this program? I mean, in the sense of at least starting some course-building project.

Don't download it, the voice conversion is so bad it is useless, it is a really annoying program (took me ages to uninstall it), and it's not that good anyway...stick to anki + audio!

RR,
You don't have to use the voice synthesis -- you can record your own prompts. I wouldn't write it off completely, if you're looking to learn a lot of phrases it's the easiest way I know of to get a set of MP3s containing randomised practice to carry about with you. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I never tried that, I might give it another go. 1 person has voted this message useful |
