Anyone knew what Pimsluer Unlimited is? www.pimsleurunlimited.com    

I thought Pimsleur is all audio? I dont see any info on Unlimited on official Pimsleur site pimsleur.com. Is this a new product or a false?

Looking at the video - it looks like they have put Pimsleur into a multimedia format. Not a bad idea, although perhaps a little late in the day.

I generally dislike sitting in front of a computer for any language-learning, but the "Engage" function looks like a nice, logical step forward.

It looks good, as long as they don't forget their core audio method.

I suppose they had to do some sort of update, since every other well-known, well-marketed language system (RS and MT) have come out with computer-based enhancements.

R.

Just what I've always wanted to do- sit in front of a computer even more!!! What's good about Pimsleur as it is, is that it frees you from the computer to learn anywhere you can take an mp3/cd player. Who needs another RS? Sometimes change for the sake of change isn't useful. What would be useful, in my opinion, is to move the focus of the Pimsleur script away from business travelers' needs and towards regular people's needs. I won't be holding any meetings in Brazil or needing any dry cleaning done whilst there.

the FAQ says that you can export the audio lessons to your mp3 player or burn lessons to CDs. I was thinking the same thing. I don`t want only computer learn.

I click buy and it goes to other site. What is Barnes & noble?
