Pimsleur german transcript3/11/2024 ![]() ![]() I don’t know why they do this instead of continuing to introduce vocabulary of general use. For some reason, all the vocabulary was based around the publishing industry. Then, for some languages, there is a “bonus” pack of ten lessons. So far I’ve gone through Pimsleur Portuguese and Russian, each with 90 half-hour lessons, and today I finished the 100th (and last) lesson of Pimsleur German! Every 30 lessons are grouped together (e.g., Russian I is lessons 1-30, Russian II lessons 31-60, etc.) until 90. I would begin learning a language using Pimsleur (if available), using Anki intermittently as you encounter specific vocabulary you want or need to know, and then when you’re done with Pimsleur, continue with Anki using, in addition, a frequency list (if available) to make the most of your vocabulary building energies. In the end, I’m not really sure why I’m framing this as a comparison between Pimsleur and Anki, since they’re not mutually exclusive alternatives, but both valuable components to your language learning. Similarly, you don’t get to personalize what you learn as you can with Anki.
