Pimsleur Spanish Program Comparison updated Fri Dec 31 2010 2:20 pm CST

There's no doubt that Pimsleur programs are among the best audio programs available for beginner's learning Spanish or for that matter any other language.

But what about the student that already has the basics down, completed the <a href="http://www.usedpimsleur.com/spanish?b=1">Pimsleur series</a>, or needs a text and transcript to accompany their audio lessons? Also what about the course content, methodology and the price? Both courses are excellent and are increasingly well known. The key is to find out what method suits you the best.

In addition to our comparison, we have also provided a variety of additional recommended Spanish learning resources, videos, rss feeds, and more.

Having uploaded the last cast and having listened to it (in that

will rerecord and re-edit it and upload it again at the same time as I

One of my other options was to fix it straight away which would have
been the best but I have to go to work now and I anticipate a busy week
ahead. The other option I discarded was to upload it next weekend, for
example, but then people may think they've downloaded podcast no. six

Downloading Older Podcasts Using iTunes

Open up iTunes and click on "Podcasts" in the left-hand pane - it
should be the first item after "Library". If you can't find the
"Podcasts" item you almost certainly need to update your iTunes to the
latest version.

Now you will either see the colourful podcast directory or a list of
podcasts you have already subscribed to. In the latter case you need to
click on "Podcast Directory" towards the bottom left of the right-hand
pane. On the left of the right-hand pane you'll now find a search box
above the words "Search All Podcasts". Using this box, type in "Really
Learn Spanish" and hit [enter]/[return].

You'll now get two entries for "Really Learn Spanish" - one I believe
is a mirror of sorts which does not appear to update and you'll want to
avoid subscribing to it. The good one is the one that has
"johan.vanrooyen@gmail.com" as the artist. Just click on the
"Subscribe" button and you'll be taken to your subscriptions page or
whatever it's called. The most recent podcast - currently no. 5 - will
start downloading automatically. You can download the others by
clicking on the "Get" button next to each individual podcast.

In order to have easy access to podcasts on your iPod you first need to
update your software and then go Settings>Main
Menu>Podcasts>On.
