Comments about Pimsleur Spanish Unlimited 1-4:
The lessons focus on sentences and phrases that will be useful for a traveler in Latin America. The repetition of what I have learned does help to cement the lesson. On the other hand, I am more of a visual learner and the Pimsleur program has very little written material. Also, I often have trouble finding the right words in the time that is allotted for a response. If I could use the spacebar to pause the audio, which is possible in other audio programs, I would be better able to search my mind for the right words. I am not sure I will ever figure out the verbs.

Comments about Pimsleur Spanish Unlimited 1-4:
Hello. I just wanted to say that I purchased the Pimsleur Unlimited Spanish 1-4 the day that it was released and I thoroughly enjoyed the program. I Completed the courses months ago and I've retained all the information learned. And that's a lot of information. I'm still amazed at how much the course covered. Buying this product was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm always getting compliments from my spanish friends on my spanish. It feels good knowing that what I did to learn actually worked. Thank you for helping me achieve one of my greatest goals in life. Since I was a child, I've always been fascinated with the Spanish language and this program helped me make my dream a reality. 30 Min. a Day and you're Golden. I know I am. Thank You.

Comments about Pimsleur Spanish Unlimited 1-4:
It is well structured for learning.
The pause between question/challenge is too short, leaving me frustrated and confused at first.
I have only done the first I: lessons 20. So far, it is only one way:English-->Spanish. There needs to be more Spanish challenges, requiring me as an English speaker to understand them.
Service and delivery comments:
The audio lessons over-run me at first and leave me frustrated & confused. You need to provide a controlled delay between the question/challenge and the answer. Then as I improve in proficiency in that lesson, I can speed up the process.

Comments about Pimsleur Spanish Unlimited 1-4:
I exercise every morning and listen to the audio on my iPhone, I listen two days in a row, then go home and do the vocabulary and sentence review. I had started with Rosetta but wasn't speaking much spanish, a lot of vocabulary but not very practical. With Pimsleur after only 30 lessons I am now speaking spanish with a teacher in Mexico, no english!! Pimsleur is great, I still use Rosetta as a re-enforcement for vocabulary. As with any course you need to find someone to speak with frequently to get the conversational component solidified.
Service and delivery comments:
Program needs a little tweaking, some errors here and there. I would like more audio listening and recognition. Adding a tutor or interaction component would be good. I am doing that currently with a Mexican tutor using Skype. Needs to be more one on one.
