Great way to get started
26 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
The half-hour a day is just the right amount of time -- it's not that much of a commitment if you really want to learn the language. At first I thought the repetition would make it boring but the interactive nature of the CD's keep it interesting and keep your brain engaged. Of course, like any other language, you'll learn only if you have the desire to learn it and are willing to put in the time. In this case, it doesn't demand much. Use what you learn with each lesson so you can make the imprints in your brain. Be honest with yourself and do not advance to the next level until you are comfortable with how much you've picked up. If I remember right, this program just asks for 70% retention. As I said, it's a great way to get started!

very effective

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I use these CD's on the drive to/from work, and they have proven most effective. I listen to each one about 2 or 3 times until I absorbed about 90% of the material. I think this is necessary because I'm partially focusing on the road.
The CD's stay true to the title. All lessons are really working through a conversation, and not just repetitive memorization. I've made some good progress, and my filipino wife is quite impressed with what I've learned.
I recommend this to anyone. I know my father tried Pimsleur's french lessons and had a equally good experience. the only negative is that you don't learn the spelling, but so what. I think their conversational technique is much more effective then a written lesson.

Really good
12 May 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It delivers on its promise to learn to speak Tagalog. It's teaching method is very effective. I'm already half way through the included 16 lessons and have learned quite a bit of basic conversational Tagalog.
I purchased this product with confidence as I had used Pimsleur to effectively learn basic Japanese about 10 years ago, on audio cassette. Following the lessons along on my Ipod, I now have more portable, pinpoint access within each lesson. It's introductory focus on conversation is a nice compliment to using Rosetta Stone, which its strong point is building up a comprehensive vocabulary.
