Pimsleur guilt (again??)
So I bought these used Pimsleur CDs from a guy in Canada via eBay. He was pretty quick about shipping, but when the envelope arrived, it was way too light for a bunch of CDs.
Well, it turns out that they're not exactly "used" but more like "pirated." It's a bunch of mp3 files, not uniformly named (!!), shoved on 3 disks named: My_Disk, My_Disk, and My_Disk.
Now I feel very guilty. This self-instructed foreign language acquisition is nothing if not guilt-bearing distress and shame.
What could I do but take a listen to my next lesson, Unit 19 of Level 1?
SURPRISE!! IT IS A PREVIOUS EDITION OF RUSSIAN PIMSLEUR WITH SPEAKERS WHO SPEAK TOO FAST AND SLUR THEIR CONSONANTS.
So, I wasted a bunch of money, gave it to a pirater, and I am still stuck listening to the cassette version from my public library. Foiled again!
