Pimsleur got me speaking French pretty fluidly and with almost no accent very quickly. I haven’t studied much in any other language but I’m super loyal to Pimsleur now and when I decide I want to learn another language consistently, I will be using Pimsleur for speaking.

This happens to me too pretty randomly. 99% of the time I read for pleasure and actually pay attention, but sometimes when I’m reading a book I’m not interested in or something else is on my mind I read the words but can’t absorb them. Could read a whole book like that and not be able to tell you what it was about.
