Daily audio lessons that train listening and speaking.
Pimsleur is built around about 30 minutes of audio a day, using graduated interval recall and spaced repetition to build vocabulary and speaking.
What we think
A good fit for commutes and for learners who want to speak first.
This is our opinion.
What it does well
- Audio-first, so you can learn while walking or driving.
- Offline downloads.
Who it suits
- You want to speak and understand, and learn on the move.
- You prefer listening to reading.
Where our apps fit
We build four small language apps, so we are not neutral here. These are where they could complement Pimsleur.
