Why I am not a fan of Pimsleur

Pimsleur is popular with many people, but not with me. I explain why. Basically not enough words, and not a way I like to spend my learning time.

steve, me encanta como siempre fomentas tu pagina (Lingq)para ganar dinero...puta.

i love how you always promote your website to make money...bitch. Quizas queremos que nos recomiendes un website que no es terrible y la que no te gana dinero.

@NickC5000 Si no te gustan mis videos porque mirarlos?

[NickC5000]

@lingosteve your response had nothing to do with my comment so im guessing your spanish isn't at a very high level...I'm asking why you always promote LingQ, literally every video you say it and anyone who writes in the comments asking for help/suggestions your response is always, "In my opinion, LingQ is the best way to learn a language" therefore your always promoting yourself to make money. I didn't use LingQ and I'm a C2 in english, spanish (native language), and french. And a B2 in german.

@NickC5000 You have watched enough of my videos to notice that I often mention LingQ. Is this an accident or I want to promote LingQ. Which do you think it is?

If you search for lingosteve on youtube you will find a video about LingQ? Why? Guess!

In the future I will do even more explicit videos promoting LingQ. If you don't like it why watch my videos?

I hope my language learning experience interests others. My way of learning is the LingQ way. There are many other ways.

I am plodding my way through Pimsleur's Thai and I have to agree, it is no fun for me either. I abhor repetition and Pimsleur has no peer in that regard. So what to do? I will continue with Pimsleur but also allow my curiosity to take me to whatever Thai book, cd, etc that suits my fancy and not worry about my lack of progress with Pimsleur. What says you Lingosteve?

@belaghoulashi i like them because the actually give out good workouts, get off your 300 pound fat-ass and stop eating that mcdonalds faggot.

@NickC5000 What are you complaining about?

"Sixpackabs" continuously promotes their website via their videos to make money. They've been suspended multiple times for doing so. They are suspended right now, in fact.

Yet you favorite them and then come here to bellyache?

That smells funny. What's up with that?

I personally really like the Pimsleur learning series. It provides you with a good base to start off learning the language so you know how to construct sentences and the like. After I finish these courses I can then proceed to learn other vocab which I can easy slot into sentences. I'm doing Japanese and think it's great!
