"Probably no
aspect of
learning a foreign
language is more
important than
memory. Yet no
aspect of
language
learning has
been less well
examined. ..."

Dr. Paul Pimsleur
One of the most
thrilling evolutions in
today’s world of
language learning
systems is certainly
the new age software
tools.
Dr. Paul Pimsleur
The writing is
somewhat on the
wall – the Pimsleur
method now has
been reckoned as one
of the fastest and
perhaps the easiest
way of speaking
foreign language
Pimsleur's popularity stems
from two sources.

First the idea that the optimal
method for learning a
language for most people is to
replicate the manner in which
children learn a language -
audibly.

The second is that the
Pimsleur method recognizes
the limitations as well as the
goals of most individuals.
Most people don't have time
to learn extensive grammar or
sentence structures.
Did you try learning your mother tongue ever?
Graduated Interval
Recall


Dr. Pimsleur’s
research on memory
was perhaps one of
his most revolutionary
achievements. He
discovered that if his
students were
reminded of new
words and
information at
gradually increasing
intervals within a set
amount of time, each
time they would
remember the word
or information longer
than the time before.
Principle of Anticipation

In real-life communication
you are required to
understand what is being
said to you and to
“anticipate” a correct
response. It’s an intricate
thought process that
most of us take for
granted when speaking
our native language. Dr.
Pimsleur’s research
demonstrated that by
initiating this dynamic
“input/output” system,
that new connections are
formed in the learner’s
brain.
Core Vocabulary

Pimsleur courses are
designed to teach you
to understand and
speak your new
language in a
relatively short
time. Extensive
research has shown
that effective
communication in any
language depends on
mastery of a relatively
limited number of
words. .
