Hi Kevin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you think Pimsleur is a good way to learn and recognize that it has its own method. Pimsleur is intentionally designed as a speaking and listening method first, with lessons that train learners to hear, recall, and respond out loud so they can build real conversation skills. We also understand your suggestion about adding more pictures. Visual support can be helpful for some learners, and the app includes review tools such as flash cards, quizzes, reading lessons, and vocabulary activities to reinforce what learners practice in the core audio lessons. At the same time, the core Pimsleur Method™ focuses on developing listening, pronunciation, recall, and spoken response skills through sound and speech. We’re sorry to hear that Voice Coach has not been registering your pronunciation accurately. That is not the experience we want, and feedback like this is very helpful as we continue improving our speech-recognition and pronunciation feedback tools. The best way to report this is directly in the app by shaking your phone to trigger the feedback tool, which helps our team capture the details needed to investigate. Thank you again for learning with Pimsleur and for helping us improve the app experience. Best, The Pimsleur Team

Hi Rick, Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Pimsleur has been a game changer for your Japanese speaking and listening skills, especially after struggling with those areas in the early stages of learning other languages. Treating each lesson like a series of quizzes is a great way to describe an important part of the Pimsleur Method™: the Principle of Anticipation. Learners are prompted to listen, recall, and respond out loud before hearing the correct answer, which helps build active speaking confidence over time. We also love hearing that Pimsleur fits into your morning chores and walks. The audio-first format is designed to make language learning easier to fit into everyday routines while helping learners train their ears to the rhythm, cadence, and sound system of the language. You’re also right that Pimsleur shines in strengthening speaking and listening skills. The method focuses on useful, high-frequency language and practical conversation patterns so learners can start communicating with confidence. Reading lessons and review tools are included to support the core audio lessons, and many learners also choose to add additional resources depending on their reading, writing, or vocabulary goals. Thank you for learning Japanese with Pimsleur and for sharing such a helpful recommendation. We wish you continued success on your language-learning journey! Best, The Pimsleur Team

Hi Craig, We’re very sorry for the frustration and disappointment this caused. Pimsleur has been built on customer trust and satisfaction for more than 60 years, so we take feedback like this seriously. We do want to clarify that Pimsleur subscriptions are disclosed at checkout as auto-renewing, and customers must affirmatively acknowledge the renewal terms before starting a subscription. That said, we understand that billing concerns can be frustrating, especially when you cancelled on the renewal date. We usually offer a short grace period for cancellations made within 24 hours of a renewal, so we’d like to review your account, the subscription type, and the timing of your cancellation to see what can be done. Please contact us again at pimsleur.com/contact-us and reference this Trustpilot review, or reply to your existing support thread and ask that it be escalated for review. We’re sorry again for the experience and appreciate the chance to look into this more carefully. Best, The Pimsleur Team

Hi Joe, **We love this story. Thank you for sharing it with us.** We’re delighted to hear that Pimsleur French is helping you and your wife prepare for your move to France. Being able to build pronunciation, understand the cadence and flow of French speech, and practice practical conversations are exactly the kinds of skills the Pimsleur Method™ is designed to develop. We also appreciate your comparison. Visual learning tools can be helpful, but when the goal is speaking, learners need practice hearing, recalling, and responding out loud. Pimsleur is built around that speaking-first approach, helping learners train their ears to the rhythm, cadence, and sound system of French while building confidence for real conversations. We’re especially glad the conversations feel practical and relevant as you think about daily life in France. And it’s wonderful to hear that the Enrich content is helping you learn more about French culture as you prepare for such an exciting move. Thank you for learning French with Pimsleur. We wish you and your wife all the best as you continue preparing for France! Best, The Pimsleur Team
