The comment was to short so I had to copy and paste it several times.
Greetings. Did Pimsleur help you get a fair grasp of German? I am disappointed that you decided to drop it. I’ve used your written notes as a help as of late as I started this program
Two weeks wasn’t enough to get a grasp of the language; I was only left with a few basic phrases. I’m in Israel right now so I’ve been distracted from learning German but I’ll get back with it in the not too distant future. Thanks for stopping by!
I agree! I was using your notes as well! I was especially hopeful because I am using a somewhat outdated version of pimsleur (uses Marks instead of euros) and also my unit 26 mp3 file is corrupted. I’m currently up to lessons 27/28 but it’s killing me that I missed out on 26 and I’m struggling. Oh well. Good luck with everything else!

I was inspired by your idea, so I created my own blog.
Now I finished lesson 14, and your posts helped me a lot, so thank you
