Very nice posts. Thank you. I just bought the first set of disks too, to try them out. I think they work fairly well. Did you also do lesson 8? I did not see a post for that one. Did you end up purchasing any of the lessons after this initial set? I am curious how they were. Did you get to take your trip and tour Japan yet?

DeleteThank you so much for posting this - it is so helpful!! I wish Pimsleur would realize that some people NEED the written version as well as the oral version. Your work here is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Are you planning to continue writing the scripts? They are so helpful!
