hasnabey ★★★★☆ v8.0 2026-10-06
it’s good but has its flaws
i’m loving pimsleur so far i’ve learned more japanese in 2 weeks then i have in a whole year (consistently) but the thing is is that it’s not free… BUT the offers are really good for me i used the yearly plan which is 139.00 every year. What i don’t like about pimsleur is that it’s pre-recorded it’s not based on what your saying that’s the only thing i don’t like because if you don’t remember something and the ai says “say blah blah blah blah” but i forgot how to say “blah blah blah blah” and then i remember and the ai voice cuts me off and sometimes it just gets a little bit overwhelming but overall i really like pimsleur! bye!

Perfect
I have used many apps in my attempt to learn languages, especially when visiting a new country. So far this app does what it says. It’s going to do much better than games where you have to keep your scores high to feel like you’re accomplishing anything. And yet you are accomplishing almost nothing. Because you cannot carry a conversation with anybody.
