Comments about Japanese Phase 1, Unit 21-25:
I had studied Japanese many years ago in college, but forgot most of it due to a lack of practice. When I decided to re-learn the language, I started by borrowing CDs from the local library. There were four different language programs available, but the PIMSLEUR method was by far the most effective. I really enjoy listening to the lessons. I always listen to two lessons in a row, then repeat one of the previous lessons. I just finished lesson 20 and am very happy with my progress.
The PIMSLEUR method is much more methodical than other methods. It timing is much better: there is a realistic pause after every question, so that I don't have to use my hands to pause all the time, which is quite annoying on some other programs. This allows me to work on Japanese while I do my workouts or wash dishes, etc.

Comments about Japanese Phase 1, Unit 21-25:
I do one lesson a day and over a course of just over three months I can understand complex sentences with correct grammar. I can understand my anime, talk and order at a Japanese restaurant. Better than Rosetta Stone.

Comments about Japanese Phase 1, Unit 21-25:
Sometimes the speakers talk too fast and not clearly in the opening lesson conversations. It is very frustrating. I sure would like a transcript of the lessons. Generally I enjoy the lessons and I'm now in 2nd set of 30 lessons. I'll repeat - it sure would be good to get a transcript.
