[EDUCATION] Pimsleur French I,II,III and Pimsleur Spanish I,II,III. | Megalinks MegaDB [EDUCATION] Pimsleur French I,II,III and Pimsleur Spanish I,II,III.

Learned both french and spanish in their respective native countries but pimsleur gave me a great foundation and I don't think I would have been able to dive into conservation and learn it so quickly without it. Duolingo works but in a more grammatical/read write/random pointless vocab (school type) educational style while pimsleur is based entirely on getting people started in basic conversations which is more effective in learning a spoken language in my opinion. Will post more pimsleur language sets if people are interested!

tYou can't believe how much I needed this. I am Algerian and we learn French as a secondary language, many people in my country have already gotten the hang of it but I am yet too weak and late, although I am pretty much one of the best in my country when it comes to English (Won a competition). Now that they announced the beginning of a Quaternary language which is Spanish (and based on my slight knowledge about it too) I thought maybe I would learn Spanish as a fourth language besides English, French and Arabic, and also improve my Spoken French abilities. You are the best !! Thank you so much !

Nicee!!! I'm trying to learn arabic at the moment. Can read and write but only with tashkeel :/

[-] jonhysone | 4 points | Jan 03 2018 19:10:23

Haha you know it's kind of tricky to tell what's specifically hard in Arabic since I grew up with it (Although it's not our main language, we speak a Slang that's way far from being Arabic) but we got used to it thru Cartoons and TV News (which are broadcast in Modern Arabic) so it was a must. I remember in Elementary School we used to read Arabic ONLY with Tashkeel, it was so hard to guess the Tashkeel of a word without having the Tashkeel symbols written on words, so those first steps are actually THE hardest. I can say Tashkeel-free reading is one of the hardest, but you'll probably be able to get used to reading without Tashkeel when you embrace the language even more (That's me in English, I really was struggling in pronouncing each word because each vowel would be sometimes pronounced differently let alone the stress -mora I guess- type thing). That -in other words- means you will understand the whole system of the language. This is an example : ذَهَبْـنـَـا إِلـَى الْكَنِـيـــسَـةَ (We went to the Church) You think there would be more than one probability of pronunciation without Tashkeel but as you can see, no actually a dozen probabilitise, but the first word ends with "ـنــا", which translates to "We" in Arabic (Subject-Verb are reversed), so automatically the verb will end in Sokoon (Mute) which is that Circle Tashkeel thing above the letter, so if you used any Tashkeel other than the Mute Circle Tashkeel it would sound weird, any verb that ends with the "We ـنــا" pronoun will have to have a Mute at the end of it (exactly here above the "ب" so it becomes "بْ" [B'] (Not Ba, Baa, Bee, Bi, Bo, Boo, totally non-moving, but not silent, just mute without any lengthening)

This is how the system works sometimes, there are cases which you'll spontaneously get used to handle, since they repeat and also there aren't 2 cases for a word with certain conditions like in English (I mean how on Earth would the "E" in Mercedes accept three different pronunciation lmao), Arabic accepts generalizing global rules, which is satisfying sometimes, albeit being hard form the overlook.

I will be around to help you if you face any difficulties, you'd sure need help from someone who's native Arabic and probably understands English as well so there would be no problem in communication!) Could be a favor-returning since you provided me with Pimsleur's tutorials ! XD

Have a good day !

what do you use to learn arabic if you dont mind me asking?

[-] o_Oz | 1 points | Feb 19 2018 21:43:36

What's the point of learning so many languages when your country is poor as shit? You people should be learning engineering, medicine, programming.

[-] jonhysone | 2 points | Feb 25 2018 16:18:51

I am a medical student, I program C++, VB and even web-script, I used to study engineering at a private institute, I have a VISA to go to as many countries as I desire after applying their requirements, so I only have languages left lol. Idc if my country's shit, it's stable and safe and helped me rise. Now is time to build linguistics.

[-] Sorrow446 | 6 points | Jan 03 2018 07:35:50

I have 1-5. Pretty effective on me. Some are personal rips which came unabridged, so I'll need to split those. Will consider uploading.

[-] WhiteLotusFina | 2 points | Jan 03 2018 13:51:48

I would appreciate it so much if you could!

[-] KaijuKing | 2 points | Jan 03 2018 14:23:43

Yeah if you could upload japanese that would be awesome :)

[-] phman2500 | 1 points | Jan 03 2018 22:34:09

Didn't know that there was a fifth one. It would be great if you could upload it.

[-] mteg | 1 points | Jan 04 2018 09:48:37

That would be great, especially 4 and 5 (I thought it stopped at 3)!

[-] Sorrow446 | 2 points | Jan 04 2018 19:46:16

I've seen that 1-3 were recently uploaded here, so I'll be uploading just 4 + 5 soon. Will let you know.

[-] mteg | 1 points | Jan 05 2018 02:31:26

Thanks a lot.

Are you talking about Cantonese? I couldn't find any Cantonese Pimsleur 2 and 3 in r/megalinks.

[-] Sorrow446 | 1 points | Jan 05 2018 02:52:41

Japanese. I'll have a look for that too.

[-] mteg | 1 points | Jan 05 2018 12:13:56

Thanks, Japanese 4 and 5 I'll definitely use it!

[-] Sorrow446 | 2 points | Jan 07 2018 00:02:36

Just a little update. Splitting and tagging is going fine. Should be up sometime tomorrow.

[-] phman2500 | 1 points | Jan 09 2018 06:38:05

Any updates? Really looking forward to it.

[-] Sorrow446 | 1 points | Jan 09 2018 07:38:07

Very sorry. Been lazy. Half of them are split now. I'll try finish them off and get them uploaded tomorrow.
