Description

Been using Pimsleur | Language Learning for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that teaches you how to speak new languages through audio lessons. Pretty solid app if you’re trying to learn a new language like Spanish, French, or Korean.

Here’s what you do: there are these 30-minute audio lessons you can listen to every day. They cover vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversations. It’s got different levels too, so you can start as a beginner and work your way up. And the app keeps track of your progress, which is handy.

Look, if you’re trying to pick up a new language, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – can get a little repetitive after a while – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to learn a new language in a pretty easy and flexible way.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Pimsleur | Language Learning. I've tried a bunch of language learning apps and this one's pretty solid. The audio lessons are well-made and the spaced repetition really helps reinforce the material. It's not as flashy as some other apps, but the focus on practical conversation is great. Only downside is it can get a little monotonous after a while, but if you stick with the daily practice it works. Overall, Pimsleur is a reliable language learning tool that's easy to fit into your routine.

Very overpriced for what you get. Learning Chinese and disappointed. I don't like the outdated UI. No visual ques in the lessons so it's difficult for your brain to associate...

Chris Pilot Oct 16, 2025

This method is horrible for adults. There are no visuals with the lessons, so you have to rely on hearing the unusual way they're pronouncing a language you don't know...

Ok, I'll be honest, I've only tried lesson 1, but I really enjoyed it! I wanted to try pimsleur because of its rep in speaking practice, something other apps underperform...
