Ce que les critiques en disent

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)

Many years ago I did course work for a Bachelor of Education in second language pedagogy. In my textbook I read that the consensus among researchers is that it's not so much how you study a language, it's how MUCH you study a language that makes the difference. In other words, you spend the hours, you learn it.
I assume then that Pimsleur's Ojibwe course works.
On the other hand, Ojibwe is in the category of languages that's hardest for a native English speaker to learn. That means it's going to take many, many hours of exposure and practice. And if you compare this course to other Pimsleur courses, you'll see that this course stops after 30 lessons. That's 15 hours. Compare Mandarin (just as hard), which has 150 lessons. Or Portuguese (waaay easier), which also has 150.
This course is also a little different than most Pimsleur courses. It's designed specifically for Anishinaabeg who want to get back in touch with their language and culture. So you learn to how to say whether you're Anishinaabe or not. Then if you're "English." Eventually you learn something about pow-wows, tobacco, hunting, fishing, going into town, and "feasts."
The Pimsleur method is like this: you're given an English phrase to listen to in Ojibwe, then you repeat it in parts, broken down in reverse order to help you focus on the sounds. The narrator then gives you an English phrase to say in Ojibwe, which--surprise!--turns out to be the phrase you were just practising. Then he digs up some forgotten phrase from an earlier lesson to test you on, and then--zing!--it's back to the phrase you were practising before, which you've now forgotten (that's how it worked for me at least).
Material seems to be chunked to hide what goes with what. There are very few explanations, no grammar, and vocabulary comes out in single pieces. For me it felt like repetition, memorization and not much more.
I gave an extra star for the efforts of the Ojibwe speakers. But there are only two of them (which is too few), and they seem to take different approaches to their task--the male voice speaks quickly and runs things together, and the female voice stops and starts. The anglophone narrator is lifeless and too smooth.

It's a start . . .
