Not bad at all!!

Format:Audio CD
I purchased two different CDs at the same time. I started with the 2nd of my two purchases, leaving "Basic Korean: Learn to Speak and Understand Korean with Pimsleur Language Programs" aside, as it looked to be more daunting in appearance. I put in the other CD and after 5 minutes, ejected it, and replaced it with "Basic Korean: Learn to Speak and Understand Korean with Pimsleur Language Programs."
Wow, what a difference between the two products!! Within five minutes, I was able to capture a couple of very useful phrases. The program breaks down each phrase into small bits that you repeat out loud. After a couple of repetitions of each bit of language, each one building into a complete phrase, you are asked to repeat the entire phrase. Phrases build upon themselves until you have mastered a situation like; "Excuse me, do you speak English?" I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of instruction provided on the CDs and I am looking forward to future lessons! The set comes in a nice CD case and is broken down into several separate lessons, two lessons to a CD. I'd recommend "Basic Korean: Learn to Speak and Understand Korean with Pimsleur Language Programs." to anyone who wants to learn with using a CD, without books and such.! I plan to continue to study each day during my commute to work.

Mediocre

I already have a basic understanding but wanted to have a tape to listen to any changes. Granted there is a lot of repetition, but the lessons are short spurts and the second lesson repeats the first. I've only listened to half the CD set because of my busy time. However, the pronunciation is articulate and breaks it down to syllables, but if you forget where you leave off, you may misunderstand how to actually pronounce the whole word. I like how the narrator explains the sentence structure. It would be nice to hear more about cultural formality differences as I know there are levels of speech depending on status, age, and profession. Overall, the money's worth it to have it. Reasonable price and convenient to listen to.

Worth the money!

The repetition provided in the CD, pace and style of teaching is truly helpful for a beginner who's learning the language for the very first time. Unlike some other programs which teaches at a very fast pace, making one feels lost and confused, this one allows you time to memorize and digest what you've learn. Overall, I am truly impressed and will recommend it to everyone!
