I am currently using Pimsleur to learn Japanese. Everything is working great and I am able to hold lengthy conversion in Japanese with my fiancテゥe, who currently lives in Chiba. Yeah, we still have difficulties communicating with each other but we get by. Love is grand, huh.
She is learning the English language with workbooks and that is all. However, with workbooks she is not able to hear how to correctly pronounce some of the words. I am able to help her with those words most of the time but do to my work I am usually out of the country for months at a time and that hinders her from learning how to correctly pronounce those words. Most of our conversations over the phone are 窶廩ow do you say this and how about this word窶 Which makes for a fun conversation, because I get to try to figure out what she is trying to say. If I cannot figure what she is trying to say, she will usually end up spelling it out or getting frustrated, giving up and calling me a baka!

I would like to get my hands on the complete窶 Pimsleur - English for Japanese Speakers窶 series for her or another audio series that can help her. If I were a rich man, I would have no problem laying done $1000 on them, but I am not. :-) Does anyone know where I might find these series or something like that using bit torrent or another other way for free? In addition, if anyone wants the 窶弃imsleur 窶 Learning Japanese窶 I can hook you up with those. Thanks for any help.
 
Transcripts?

Hi I've got these CD's and they really are good for learning Jpns

Although I find without a live-in helper (envy envy envy) I'm never sure if Im pronouncing things right or not.

What I'd LOVE TO HAVE is the transcripts (pref' in romaji). Ummm I don't suppose there's any chance that.....???????

I have all 90 lessons in MP3 format as well as the transcriptions. If you use Direct Connect ++ you will find me on there with the same username.

p.s. When and if you find me on DC++ pm me saying who you are and I can give you an automatic slot.
 
thereisnospoon...
You do have "Pimsleur's English for Japanese Speaker"?
 
i want the workbooks... since i have the audio lessons already =/

if you guys are using your phone all the way to japan, get Skype ( www.skype.net ) and get a mic for your puter ^^ it can also make calls from your skype to a "real" phone. except that costs money.. but only as much as a normal local call... calling japan can get expensive ^^
 
thereisnospoon what exactly do i have to do if i would like to get the tapes/audio? those tapes are teaching japanese right?
 
Want TRANSCRIPTS of CD'S 2 & 3 pulleeaasseee?????

Hi, I've got 3 Pimsleur CD's "Essential Japanese".

Someone sent me the transcript (written dialog) for CD 1 and promised to send the transcripts (written dialogs) for CD's 2 and 3.

However I just kept receiving 'cultural notes' and things. I don't know why he wouldn't send the TRANSCRIPTS to me :(

As some of you have/can get the TRANSCRIPTS I would so much appreciate it if one of you would be kind enough to just send me those two (PDF?) files. Thanks in advance, F.

PS I'll tell you my unlimited-volume e-mail account if you contact me
 
Konnichiwa! I am currently studying Japanese on my own, and I have been going back and forth between two different resources. The first one I use is "Learn Japanese" on Dotdash . Namiko Abe is my E-sensei (^_^), and on the site you will find an audio library full of useful vocabulary, phrases, and other expressions. She also shows you how to learn the Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. The other thing I use is Instat Immersion from TOPICS. It has a fair amount of vocabulary, and it also allows me to record my voice with the sensei's voice. Ever since I started doing this, my pronounciation has gotten allot better. Maybe you and your fiance can buy the Instant Immersion, and then that way you won't have to wonder if you're saying things right or not. :) I hope this helps.
