Pimsleur Mandarin Chinese Unit 1 Transcripts

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Due to a Notice of Copyright Infringement from Pimsleur, I have had to remove my transcripts, however due to the demand I have made available Taryn’s Transcripts (who’s site was also removed).

To download the transcripts as a zip file, enter your email address below and click submit. A download link will be sent to your inbox which is good for 5 minutes. Note: the file is 8mbs.

Leave a comment if there are any problems. I will eventually add all transcripts I have collected to the zip file.

Seems that Pimsleur doesn’t like me providing transcripts for their Mandarin Chinese 1 Units and have asked for their removal.

Find the Notice of Copyright Infringement below.

So what are some Pimsleur alternatives for learning a language that are more than happy to provide transcripts.

  • Livemocha is a Social Language Learning resource.
  • The world’s number 1 in language learning software, Rosetta Stone is another alternative.
  • Instant Immersion produces a large collection of language learning programs, in the forms of computer software, audio and books.
  • FSI Language Courses is a free alternative with a large number of audio units in the public domain.

There are still plenty of sights that provide Pimsleur transcripts.

And don’t forgot you can freely download any of the Pimsleur audio books online

Update December 2009: I have made the transcripts available for download;

Pimsleur’s Mandarin Chinese 1 Units 18 to 21 transcript

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Recently, I have been attempting to learn Mandarin using Pimsleur’s audio lessons. It is progressing quite successfully, with the help of additional resources.

The main problem is due to being purely audio; the student has no visual representation of the words and sentences. I have sources a few sources of transcripts on the internet and have started to compile my own for the lessons not available. They are available below:

Note the transcripts by me most likely will have mistakes, I did them from memory. However, they should still be useful.
