Czech

Summary: An excellent repeat-after-me program
Review: Czech is a very difficult language to learn, even if you have studied other languages. If you have some basic knowledge of Czech or very little, this a good series to help you learn survival Czech. It doesn't require the "brain-strain" of too much memorizing. Yet this series is easy to work with and increases knowledge and confidence. I only wish that it had several levels beyond for the more serious student of ceski jasyk.

Summary: A great system to learn a difficult lauguage.
Review: I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the Pimsleur program for Czech. I only wish they had a more advanced version I could move on to! I also purchased the Berlitz cassette, and if I had not had Pimsleur first, I would have thought Czech was impossible. This product in a wonderful way to learn a little Czech for a trip.

Summary: Great Intro to Czech and Easy to Follow
Review: I have so much enjoyed listening to the tapes in my car and learning the Czech through repetition. I admire the ability of the authors in how they put this together that made it such a building block process. My only regret, now that I am on the last tape of this set, is that they don't have a sequel so that I could gain more knowledge of Czech using this method.

Summary: Greater complete success than other taped courses.
Review: Pimsleur doesn't try to be as extensive as some other taped courses such as the Language 30 series which I also regard very highly, but what Pimsleur presents is organized so you will learn it completely. From knowing no Czech, you can at least master a number of key expressions. It is more fun to travel if you can speak a little of the language, and it reflects well on Americans. A student would benefit from taking a class, and then listening to the tapes again. Pimsleur was recommended to me by a top language instructor and I've been quite pleased with it.

Summary: terrific!
Review: this set of tapes is a great way to start learning czech, a very difficult language. the voices are clear, everything is repeated by both the male and female speakers, and the production quality is very high. and the system really does work - i can't believe how much i retained from each lesson to the next! i only wish there was a more advanced series as well, because after finishing these tapes - though i feel very proud of what i do know - i realize that i actually still know very little! highly recommended for beginners who want a solid start to learning czech.

Review: You can do it while driving, jogging or exercising. It will provide you with the essential language survival skills before you go there. And the "natives" appreciate that. :-) I just wish Pimsleur offered the higher levels In Czech that it offers in some of its other languages for in-car-stereo facilitated learning.
