Dp you think you can get to the intermediate level in japanese in three weeks?

Question

I'm doing the Pimsleur

Answer 1

That is one of those taped methods, isn't it?  Usually you can get through their tapes pretty quickly, and would be able to move on to a tape they would call intermediate, but that doesn't mean that you would be at the intermediate level if you were taking courses in school.

Answer 2

I too have studied with Pimsleur, and for what it is worth, I approve that software (mine is on my computer) but "nothing" replaces a native speaker.  What you as an individual can learn is subjective and unable to determine in this forum, but my personal opinion, a humble one, is that three weeks is really not long enough time to be proficient in Japanese, or reach an intermediate level.  You may be able to do it, I can't say, but for the average person, I would say, no.

Answer 3

i'm studying at university lever for 2 years and i'm still pre-itermediate and i study my *** off.  so i guess that would be a no. sorry
