http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/ Is this legit? If not, would anybody mind sharing the name of a good program for language learning? Thanks.

Pimsleur's good, definitely try it
Michel Thomas is good to use it with Pimsleur
FSI is good, but kind of tedious
Assimil is by far the best though. Which language are you learning?
All of those are available on torrent

I'm taking Korean through school, but want to get a head start since I feel as though, the teaching style at my school is rather bland.

Learn Hangul first, it will take a day or two it's so easy.

Cool, there's a Pimsleur and FSI for that. There's not too many other resources, sadly.

I got the pimsleur audio, but I had no luck in finding the reading section (if one exsists). :/

If you're learning Japanese, Mandarin/Cantonese, Korean, Russian, etc. (languages with a different script from your native language) then you should learn the script (kanji for Japanese, hanzi for Chinese, etc.) first.
Pro tip for Pimsleur users: listen to it on your computer through Audacity. Whenever a new difficult phrase comes up, drag your mouse over the clip and export it as an mp3. At the end of each lesson, add these mp3s to Anki so you'll never forget them. Review said clips every morning. It's a little more time consuming, but at least you won't find things difficult. People often quit Pimsleur because they haven't done a lesson for a week or so and forgot everything. Anki reviews are much easier to keep up with (and catch up with), so as long as you've caught up with all of your reviews you should be ready for another Pimsleur lesson.
