What is the Pimsleur® difference?
The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Danish structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Danish can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.
The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or even thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.
When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed.
With Pimsleur you get:
Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,
Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,
The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,
30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.
Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without books, written exercises, or drills.
don't do it! Unless you are incredibly terrible with languages do not waste your money on this. It will not teach you anything very useful. You end up learning about 20 very basic phrases that are not so flexible in various situations. I recommend borrowing it from the library as a first step, to get used to danish pronunciation and purchase Bente Elsworth's Teach Yourself Danish.
Great intro to Danish, wish there were a longer version too This was my first Pimsleur course. It is remarkable how well it teaches you a spoken language - all of which you can do in your car. Because they are constantly asking you how to put together words and phrases that you know, they reinforce what you have learned and force you to invent new combinations. Very effective. Unfortunately there isn't a longer version of this available. It is just 10 lessons.
Learn Danish in the car! I bought this CD set because I am going to Denmark soon, and I wanted to be able to at least ask where the bathroom was.... :)
My mom (who is a Danish national) said that my pronunciation is great - I guess that's because I have listened to each lesson at least twice... so far anyway... It helps to have her, so I can see how her mouth is formed during words, because SOME of the Danish words I couldn't quite make out - that's why I only gave it 4 stars... well, that and the fact that people were looking at me crazy when I was sitting at traffic lights, repeating phrases... ;)
