Pimsleur is one of the worst things you can spend your money on when it comes to language learning. Good thing you got away with paying only 100 bucks. I paid $345 x 3 for Pimsleur Chinese 1, 2, and 3. I learned a lot more in two weeks of college courses in Chinese than I did in three months using Pimsleur. Compared to Pimsleur, Photoreading actually gives you something worthwhile
