Pimsleur Spanish 1 Gold Edition Language Learning Course Review


Um … for those who know me, this isn’t the first time that I’ve tried to teach myself Spanish. I blame my inability to obtain fluency in any language (my mother language of English included) on one Madame Bianeque. This woman was my French tyrant … oops … I mean teacher and she essentially terrorized me. I still have nightmares, but I digress.

The aforementioned story is about as interesting as the 16 CD/ 30 Lesson Pimsleur Spanish 1 Gold Edition ($345 currently on sale for $115). Yes, it’s been featured on PBS and has a reputation for being an amazing avenue to rapidly learn another language. And yes, this program does work if can stick with it. The program can easily be copied to your iTunes library, which makes learning on the go even easier. If you’re committed to learning Spanish, this is the way to go.

Pimsleur Spanish 1 Language Learning Course Features:
  • 100% audio-based Spanish course
  • Learn Spanish On The Go
  • Based on Dr. Pimsleur's famous research
  • Purchased by the FBI

Lightning-Fast French For Kids And Families Review


This is a great book to start you, or your kids, off on learning a new language -- the author also has Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese language books too. Lightning-Fast French For Kids And Families begins with the explanation of Masculine and Feminine, as well as word order, which differs significantly from the English language but Carolyn Woods explains it so that you can easily grasp the concept.

The first section has some grammar notes and info on how to use the book. Then it breaks down into 15 conversations, with concepts, conversation and vocabulary words. Each section also offers an idea of how to prepare, like getting a basket of clothes or toys, and using them as examples. One of the best points of this book is that each word and phrase is written in French, English and spelled out Phonetically!

The conversation chapters include getting dressed, breakfast, leaving the house, comparisons, toys, foods, playtime, boo boos, school, household items and things you might see outdoors, like animals. After the conversation section is an activities section, which includes map games, treasure hunts and scavenger hunts. Again, these are all extremely effective ways to learn new words, for kids and adults. This is followed by a games section. Using French words to play the Twister for example is a great way to have some great family fun!

Lightning-Fast French For Kids And Families by Carolyn Woods is available for Kindle and Audible, but most importantly (as I believe this to be most effective) in paperback for $14.95 on Amazon! For more about this book, check us out on YouTube
