Consumers from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the U.K. can subscribe to Pimsleur Language Programs courses on the Pimsleur website. You must create a Pimsleur account to subscribe. Subscriptions are available in other countries through Apple or Google Play via in-app purchases through the Pimsleur Language Learning App.

The process to cancel depends on the point of purchase. If you subscribed on the Pimsleur website, you can cancel by logging in to your account at store.pimsleur.com/account/subscription. If you subscribed through an Apple in-app purchase, follow Apple's instructions for canceling subscriptions.

You'll need an internet connection to access the app from Apple or Google Play and to download lessons to your mobile device for offline use. Once downloaded, lessons are available offline inside the app. For the browser/desktop version, a Wi-Fi or broadband connection is required, and downloading inside the app is not available.

Officially, Pimsleur does not recommend starting at anything other than lesson 1 of Level 1. However, if you have some experience with the language, you can try the first lesson of Level 2. If you cannot do this lesson with 100% accuracy, you should start with a previous level.

The Audio-Only format includes all core audio lessons of a single language but does not include interactive visual practice tools. The Premium format includes all core audio lessons and adds interactive tools to help you review course content and get in deeper with the written language. The All Access format includes all 51 languages available from Pimsleur, and any new updates or additional languages are automatically added to your account at no additional cost.

Depending on the language and level, each 30-lesson course will teach between 300 and 500 new vocabulary items. However, the goal of the Pimsleur programs is not to teach as many disjointed vocabulary words as possible, but to allow you to use and manipulate the language, understand its structure, and construct your own sentences.
