Language Professors are DOOMED

Yup, that's right ...
Have you been getting this ad constantly for months? I finally watched the video (actually more like an enhanced podcast).  Language professors ARE doomed. (Who isn't, really?)

Actually, though, it builds a straw-person about how classroom language instruction actually works ... you'll spend your time memorizes senseless grammar rules and not learning to speak. Really? Where?  But they do make a great case for this being the CHEAP option.

Whatevs, I just love the title …

Interesting. Does anybody have any experience with this compared to other commercial products?

I'd been reading it as "Language Professors Are DOMED," which seemed to make perfect sense with the illustration.

Language professors are DOOMED and it was a language professor -- Paul Pimsleur -- who did it.
