Pimsleur French dialogs texts #1 (permalink) Sun Apr 08, 2007 13:41 pm   Pimsleur French dialogs texts
 

Hi everyone.
I'm working through Pimsleur French now, and have a question.
Do texts/printouts of dialogs exist?
I understand that Pimsleur method is just about the listening, but sometimes looking at texts could be extremly useful.
In a few cases it's very hard to distinguish the constonants by listening.
And I don't want to get pronunciation for those words completely wrong.
(For example in some words the constonants sound somewhere between "v" and "p". And even I know that I will have an accent anyway, but would not want to pronounce it completely wrong).

The texts are not included in a package, but maybe they exist somewhere on internet?

Thanks.

Havn't seen the text anywhere but then I havn't looked either. I have listened to the first three or four lessons of french and have written out the dialog for those lessons. My impressions. The amount of content in the lessons is very minimal as anyone doing the lessons already knows. However, it is helpful to me IMO to have the text. That's just me.

Bottom line, with pimsleur it's all about repetition and responding to prompts. The good part is you have many many opportunities to hear the correct pronuciation and respond with your own attempt at correct pronuciation. The bad part is it sometimes seems painfully slow. I do recommend pimsleur as one part, an important part, of language study. I also like Learn French In Your Car by Penton Overseas, Inc. and Living Language from Random House. You do get complete dialogs with these two programs.
