>Pimsleur courses
I was wondering if that would show up in this thread. I have a fairly frequent, though not regular, ~45 min commute, and I've been working on one of their Korean courses. Each lesson is 30 min long, so it fits pretty well.
The only concern I have is that it can be very mentally taxing to, say, correctly respond using Korean to a question asked in Korean. I'd rather not die on the highway than learn a new language, so fairly frequently I have to drive first and ignore the audio for a few seconds.
To help fix this I've been doubling up, playing the same lesson on two commutes. More practice is always good in a language, I guess. I'm also fairly young and have only been driving for about six years, so it's not all autopilot yet.
The lessons are a bit dry, tbh. I've been wondering if there are any other audio-only language lesson publishers I should try that might provide some different styles.
- blunte 10y agoOh I would listen to the same CD over and over, and now I cannot get it out of my head if I tried :P. I definitely was not working toward a goal; I just found it surprisingly fun (and pleasantly distracting) while suffering commutes. I didn't investigate alternatives for audio. If I were riding a bus, I would use DuoLingo app (which I found almost addicting).
