Editorial Reviews:

Compact Romanian, a stand-alone 10-lesson (5 hours) program, teaches beginning language strategies for essential communication and traveling needs.

HEAR IT, LEARN IT, SPEAK IT®

What is the Pimsleur® difference?

The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Romanian structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Romanian can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.

The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or even thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.

When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed.

With Pimsleur you get:

Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,

Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,

The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,

30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.

Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without books, written exercises, or drills.

Summary: Excellent Teacher
Comment: I am traveling to Romania next summer and need some helpful phrases to get me around. These CDs may move slowly, but so does my brain! The repetition is helpful to me, and I am learning bits of the language while driving to work every day. By July I should make it through ten lessons! Great organization.

Summary: a great choice!
Comment: it came to my house perfectly new! the short sessions are very helpful! i listened to most of it a few days before my trip to romania and was able to mildly communicate. it worked out great for me because i am always in the car, and did not have enough time to use the computer to learn a language. so this way, i just popped in the cds into my car, and i also downloaded the cds into my mp3, and was learning romanian everywhere i went!

Summary: This product was released in July, 2008
Comment: None of the other reviews posted before this one are actually for this product.

This course, which has the MSRP of $345.00 and has 30 full-length lessons, was only released in July of 2008. Look at the dates on the others; for some reason Amazon has taken the reviews for the short course (which only has 10 lessons) and they've appended them onto this program.

Having taken the short program, I can tell you that it was considerably less than sufficient for even the shortest visit. It gave you just barely enough comprehension grasp some idea what the subject was in the conversation you didn't understand if you were lucky. It in NO WAY prepared me for speaking with excited locals.

I've just begun this, the extended course, and although there has been a lot of overlap in the initial lessons (of course) I can already see the improvements they've made in the content, voice actors & pacing. I'll update this when I finish it.

I look forward to finishing this course and (hint hint, Simon & Schuster) any further lessons they might offer.

Summary: Ok For What It Is
Comment: The Tricky Parts Are:

although by American standards, Romanian is spoken by a comparatively small group in a distinct geographic region, yet, like American English, there are WIDE divergences in pronunciation, and especially grammar and vocabulary. Think British or Australian English vocabulary vs. American, and India pronunciation vs. Savannah South. It's OK, and it helps, but if like me you end up there, you could end up saying something pretty embarassing. Fortunately, the Romanians have a sense of humor.

Summary: Excellent Language Course
Comment: I've become a big fan of the Pimsleur Method. Of four language important language skills, (1) Listening, (2) Speaking, (3) Reading, and (4) Writing, the Pimsleur Method's conversational approach concentrates almost exclusively on Listening and Speaking. This is perfect for me as I hope to beginning communicating right away with native speakers, and take up reading and writing later on.

I mainly listen to the CDs as I'm driving. I've tried some other popular methods which require a computer. I prefer Pimsleur as I'm trying to spend less time staring at my computer screen.
