This method works with every language and every learner who follows it. The Pimsleur Method + active learner participation = success.
There are no drills, and no memorization necessary for success. Every scene in every Pimsleur lesson is set inside a conversation between two people. Research has shown that learning new words in context dramatically accelerates your ability to remember. We integrate grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation into every lesson, which allows you to experience the language as a living, expressive form of human culture. You work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.
We don’t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson. Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind. In the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word.
