End of Pimsleur

I’m now very close to the end of Pimsleur’s German III. I’m up to lesson 20 which overall is lesson 80 out of 90. I have just realised however that there is a 10 lesson set called German Plus designed to go after German III but my library doesn’t have it.

I still recommend it to anyone wishing to learn a language, at least if you can get access to it for free.

Pimsleur, German

    2. How do you feel about your level of conversational fluency? Have you ever studied German in schoool or with a textbook?

    3. I studied it at school but I never felt comfortable with it. I think it helped since there are grammar details that Pimsleur doesn’t explain – it just hoped you learnt it automatically.

    As far as being conversationally fluent, I’m comfortable with what I know. I’ve been able to understand the lessons pretty much straight away and answer quite quickly with the grammar being generally automatic. But I feel my vocabulary is far too small which means any German I try and read or listen to degenerates into gibberish (”some guy did something somewhere with a something because of something”).

    And I’m not sure there is an easy way to learn vocabulary…
