As you know, we have been reviewing different Spanish programs to help you find the one that will work for you.
I feel that I need to make you aware of a disturbing sales tactic being used by one of these programs. The program is called the Pimsleur Approach. They offer you a CD for only $9.95 and promise you will learn Spanish in 10 days.
Come on. Learn a language in 10 days? I don’t think so.
I never did review their course or their teaching methods because it seems like a scam to me. Here is the “fine print” from their site;
† Pimsleur Rapid Fluency Purchase Program:
One month after you receive your Quick & Simple you'll begin receiving 30 day trial copies of advanced Pimsleur courses in the language you selected. Each course is yours to try for 30 days. You'll receive a new course once every 60 days. For each course you keep we'll bill you in four monthly payments of $64. Remember, there's never an immediate obligation to buy any course because of the 30-day trial period provided with each shipment. And you may cancel future shipments at any time by calling 1-877-802-5283.

Come on. 4 monthly payments of $64. For EACH course!
Yeah, and if you don’t want the CDs they ship, you have to pay to send them back.
Just my opinion, but I’d avoid this course.
Here’s a link to what some others have had to say;
Until next week, hasta luego.
