First and foremost, I'm a moron! My girlfriend of 2 years is Ukrainian and I think my vocabulary is somewhere around 100 words or so. I ordered instant conversation russian from pimsleur, listened to it twice a day on my morining and evening commute and to me its pretty effective in that atleast i can remember the dialougue. I see so many of you have different opinions about the pimsleur program but ive yet to see someone whos actually finished the 3 comprehensive courses. The pimsleur customer service rep claims college level fluency at the end of the 3rd level. Can anyone vouch for this claim?

1: I am from spanish decent but born and raised in the US so im fluent in english and spanish.
2: my girlfriend is not a good teacher and only has enough patience to correct my mistakes.
