| Imagine
being able to speak and understand
a new language in only 30 days! Sound
impossible? Well it's not! Now, thanks
to the revolutionary Pimsleur Language
Learning System, you can be speaking
at the Intermediate
Spoken Proficiency Level (ACTFLS)
in only 30 days! No rote memorization,
complex grammar, and confusing conjugation
drills. All you have to do is simply
listen and repeat. |
 |
A
tutor provides the clues needed to
understand the meanings, and then
you are asked to respond to a similar
question directed to you. This process
of cue-pause-response helps you anticipate
a response (anticipation),
thereby forcing your mind to retrieve
the right answer. The learning is
so clear and organized that you will
automatically respond to the foreign
situation and remember what has been
learned. |
WHY
THE PIMSLEUR SYSTEM WORKS
The late Dr. Paul Pimsleur was much more than a language teacher. He did research on how both children and multi-lingual adults learn languages and discovered key principles that unlocked the mystery of how we learn languages.
You Learned English by Ear
Pimsleur discovered that language reaches the brain most quickly through hearing. Once in the brain, speech is sorted out and stored in the language cortex. The Pimsleur System uses these facts of brain physiology to place scientifically-selected course material in your mind through
teaching techniques that take maximum
advantage of the way the brain most
easily learns and retains language.
You
learn to employ the fundamental
core of a language with the words
and constructions most frequently
used in the daily lives of contemporary
native foreign language speakers---the
same way you effortlessly learned
English as a child.
Greater
Recall Through
Question/Answer Technique
The Pimsleur System
makes you remember what is learned
via a spoken - not written - question/answer
method. You hear two native speakers
complete an exchange of thought
as they communicate in the target
language you are learning. |
|
A
Method That Makes Recall Permanent
Studies of how memory works reveal
that when you retrieve and use a
piece of information at specific
intervals,
you remember it for a longer period
of time. In the Pimsleur System,
the information you need is repeated
at precisely the right time for
you to retain it. These intervals
become longer and longer until you
remember the information without
being reminded at all. Known as
Graduated
Interval Recall, this timed
recycling of information after gradually
longer intervals, moves your new
knowledge from short- to long-term
memory with the least possible work.
What you learned becomes a permanent
part of your long term memory.
Another unique part of this program
is
that you work on your core
vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation
all at once. This is called Organic
Learning. You'll model your pronunciation
after native speakers who talk to
you in the audio sessions.
Think
in Your New Language
You'll learn by example, not memorization.
You'll learn naturally, as a child
does. And at the end of of 30 days,
you'll not only be able to speak
in and understand your new language,
you'll be able to think in it as
well. And when you can think in
a new language, you've really learned
it.

How
Well Will I Speak and Understand?
After you complete your Pimsleur
Level I course your will be at
the Intermediate Spoken Proficiency
Level (ACTFL) -- The American
Council for Teaching of Foreign
Language Scale -- The majority
of Pimsleur Program users go on
after Level I to Levels II and
III at which time they are at
the ACTFL Intermediate-High Spoken
Proficiency in both speaking and
reading the foreign language.

| "I've
tried all of the audio language
courses, Berlitz, Rosetta
Stone, etc. None of them
worked for me except Pimsleur.
They all entailed rote memorization,
tedious grammar and syntax
instructions. I could barely
get through the first tape.
With Pimsleur, it was different.
No memorization. All I had
to do was listen, think,
and repeat. It all came
so naturally. More importantly,
when I went to Russia, native
speakers were impressed.
I could understand them
and them, me. " |

"I
bought Pimsleur Mandarin
Chinese for my career. I
thought Chinese would be
impossible to learn. Wrong!
After the very first lesson
I was understanding and
speaking the language. My
confidence soared. I have
gone through all three levels
and now speak and understand
Mandarin almost flawlessly.
My Chinese counterparts
were so impressed that they
purchased the entire Pimsleur
English series for their
employees. Thanks. The best
course ever!" |

"I have
mastered Spanish because
of Pimsleur. Before Pimsleur,
I didn't think I could learn
a new language. Now, I am
fluent. As a result, I received
multiple promotions in my
company. I am now the V.P.
of Latin American Operations.
I have tripled my salary.
I owe it to my easy-to-learn
language and Pimsleur."

"I run
one of the most successful
English teaching schools
in Japan. It is successful
because we use the Pimsleur
English for Japanese Speakers
audio courses. Our students
learn faster than any other
method. I discovered Pimsleur
when I wanted to learn Japanese.
Pimsleur is definitely and
unequivocally the best language
course ever developed." |

| "Pimsleur
is so easy. All you have
to do is listen and repeat.
My 8-year-old twins use
Pimsleur and now speak two
new languages, French and
Spanish. Their teachers
think they are prodigies.
They're not. They just use
Pimsleur. Our school district
is now thinking about converting
their entire foreign language
curriculum to the Pimsleur
Method." |

"I
thought I was too old to
learn a foreign language.
My ancestors are from Italy.
My son gave me a 70th. birthday
trip to Italy and three
Pimsleur Italian programs.
I listened to one session
per day for three months.
I achieved Level III. When
I went to Italy I was able
to freely communicate and
make many new friends. They
all thought I had spoken
Italian my entire life." |
