Critic reviews
"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." ( AudioFile magazine)
Garbage!

The hardest part for most English-speaking students will probably be that there are certain sounds that occur frequently in Ukrainian but that we don't use much in English (e.g., the word for "what" is pronounced "shh-cho" - like the end of the word "fresh" and the beginning of the word "chose" - and we don't have words in English that begin with that combination of sounds). However, our mouths are perfectly capable of making those sounds, so it's not actually hard.
I agree that sometimes the native speakers on the recording speak faster than I would like. When that happens, I slow the speed down to 0.75x and listen a couple times until I get it. Then I adjust back up to 1.0x regular speed and it's fine after that.
I took the Pimsleur Spanish course a couple years ago...I completed Units 1-30 in Spanish Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I became extremely conversant, and my accent is nearly flawless. Native Latin American Spanish speakers think I can speak fluently, because I pronounce everything so well. That is 100% thanks to Pimsleur.
I've also taken Pimsleur courses in French Level 2 and Italian Level 2 - every bit as good as Spanish; I just haven't finished them yet. And so far I'm having the same results with Ukrainian.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pimsleur language learning courses.
The best learning method I've ever used
