    Comments about Swahili Phase 1, Units 1-30:

    I think as lon as you stick to the lesson outlines and discipline yourself to do it everyday. This product will work great. The only thing that I noticed, is after the first 10 sessions I had to to the sessions 2 times a day. Since they are only 30 minutes long, it wasn't that big of an ordeal.

    Comments about Swahili, Comprehensive:

    I had tried other products with slow progress. After receiving Pimsleur/Swahili, I immediatly began learning at a much faster rate and retaining the language was much easier. At only 30-40 minutes a day, progress was fast and doable.

      Comments about Swahili, Comprehensive:

      Awesome program! After studying Swahili on my own for over 1 1/2 years using books and another language learning system, Pimsleur has finally given me some conversational abilities in Swahili in just the first few lessons! I am thrilled!!! With my mindset, though, I do occasionally refer to a dictionary and/or reference book for helpful clarification. This is in no way a negative, just a helpful suggestion for people like me and for those fearing that a basically totally audio system will be difficult for them. Pimsleur is fantastic! The Pimsleur lessons are awesome, practical, and interesting and retention of information with their system is amazing! Enjoy!

          Comments about Swahili Phase 1, Units 1-30:

          Perfect for learning essential conversation. Easy to put on my iPod and play while I am walking, cooking, etc. Repetition makes memorization come naturally. Far superior to any other program I have tried. Don't waste your money on the program in the yellow box if you want to learn how to have a real conversation. Pimsleur is the ticket. It works. Really.
