Once you finish Level 3, become your own transcriptionist. Take a native French podcast (like InnerFrench or Journal en Français Facile) and write what you hear. Compare it to a Pimsleur transcript. This bridges the gap between classroom French and real street French.
Occasionally, Pimsleur publishes "Lesson Spotlights" on their blog with the first 5 minutes of a transcript. Search for "Pimsleur French Level 1 Lesson 1 transcript" on their official site.
In 2021, Pimsleur massively updated its mobile app. If you have a subscription (Premium or All-Access), you now get Digital Flash Cards and Voice Coach features. However, a full, downloadable PDF transcript is not included in the standard subscription. You only get "speaking practice" transcripts for the bonus lessons.
