The courses are broken up into half-hour sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly everything is audio-based, and even the provided reading material is meant to be read along with the audio lessons. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pimsleur.com\/list-of-languages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More than 50 languages<\/a> are offered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> With the Pimsleur method, the pressure is on you to respond with the correct translations. This provides a built-in motivation system that inspires you to do better with every attempt. The material from previous lessons is repeated in subsequent levels, so there\u2019s a lot of reinforcement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> There\u2019s limited context provided in the lessons.

Instead of taking you through greetings and basic vocabulary first, it focuses on <strong>teaching you the building blocks of grammar<\/strong> in a foreign language.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one of its most extensive courses is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.languagetransfer.org\/courses#complete-spanish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish<\/a>, and during the first episode, you learn right away how to turn thousands of English words into Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode lasts around 10 to 15 minutes, and it usually features the founder talking to a student who\u2019s learning the language from scratch. The student asks questions and occasionally has to do exercises on the spot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Language Transfer is free, so you can listen any time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.languagetransfer.org\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its courses<\/a> in nine languages. Its logical approach makes learning a language more efficient and intuitive, and it gets you up to speed with a language\u2019s basic grammar pretty fast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Since Language Transfer emphasizes grammar, it doesn\u2019t teach that much vocabulary, so you\u2019ll have to turn to other resources afterwards. Many of its courses also cover only the basics\u2014only Spanish, Swahili, and Greek are considered comprehensive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Levels:<\/strong> Each language has around 40 to 120 lessons that are meant for beginners. Once you finish a complete course, you&#8217;ll have a broad overview of the grammar of the language.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> All of the courses are free.<\/p>\n<h2>Best for Speaking: <a href=\"https:\/\/michelthomas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Michel Thomas<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Michel-Thomas-logo-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32554 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Michel-Thomas-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Michel Thomas logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Michel-Thomas-logo-1.png 225w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Michel-Thomas-logo-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Michel-Thomas-logo-1-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This audio-only method provides an opportunity to learn from a <strong>\u201cteacher\u201d who reads a lesson and asks you to repeat it<\/strong>.

He was highly successful, with diplomats and celebrities numbering among his clients. These audio CDs are based on his methods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Because there are other students recorded in the lessons, you get to feel like you&#8217;re really in class, and the progression seems natural. The Michel Thomas method is a more economical alternative to the Pimsleur method. The structure of the course gives you the tools to make real conversation in a short time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> The Michel Thomas method uses a lot of mnemonic devices to help you remember words and phrases. If this doesn&#8217;t work for you, it may seem tedious.

It also lets you learn vocabulary and grammar in the context of entire sentences and conversations rather than in isolated fragments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Most of Assimil\u2019s courses are taught in French, so you\u2019ll have fewer choices if you want to learn through English.

However, the methodology behind the way the courses are designed puts listening and speaking at the center of the learning process.<\/p>\n<p>Linguaphone currently offers courses in more than 15 languages.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a course that covers reading and writing while still keeping listening and speaking at the core of the learning process, Linguaphone should be high on your list. On the other hand, if you want to focus only on audio, Linguaphone also has \u201call talk courses\u201d that don&#8217;t require books at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Linguaphone is one of the oldest creators of language learning materials, and they\u2019ve tailored their courses for self-studying, with tons of material like quizzes, native-speaker audio, and books available. It\u2019s well-suited for learning a language at your own pace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Repetition isn\u2019t as big a part of Linguaphone as many other language courses, so some learners find that Linguaphone\u2019s lessons move at a very fast pace. For this reason, many people use Linguaphone in conjunction with something that allows for more methodical, repetitive practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Levels:<\/strong> Linguaphone has courses for beginners, intermediate, and advanced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> You\u2019ll likely have to pay double to triple digits for their complete course.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Best Conversation-Based: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berlitzpublishing.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Berlitz<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Berlitz.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32564 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Berlitz.png\" alt=\"berlitz logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Berlitz.png 225w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Berlitz-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Berlitz-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>A well-known name in the linguistic world, Berlitz offers a variety of language learning programs, including those that focus on audio CDs.
