    What is the Pimsleur Method?

     

    The Pimsleur Method is an efficient foreign language audio CD training program designed to teach spoken foreign language communication skills to English speakers.

    Typically the learner completes the 30 units of a complete Pimsleur course within a month at the rate of one half-hour lesson each day. The course is portable and the training can be accomplished in a car, walkman, or any audio player. Courses listed as "Comprehensive" come as 30 units on 16 CDs; courses listed as "Compact" come as 10 units on 5 CDs.

    The objective of the Pimsleur Language Series is to provide rapid self-instructional foreign language communication skills according to the ACTFL Spoken Language Proficiency range. Intensive Pimsleur courses are designed to bring students from Low language ability to High-Intermediate ability. After completion the student will be able to converse freely with native speakers and perfect his/her communication ability.

     

    Characteristics of the Pimsleur Method

    Pimsleur courses teach meaningful, useful language from the very first unit. The contents are selected to provide a maximum amount of usable language command for every half-hour the learner devotes to it.

     

    The Pimsleur Method makes full use of the generative qualities of language. It not only teaches you highly useful words, phrases, and sentences, but also makes you proficient in recombining these to cope with new situations, thus getting the most mileage out of each item learned. Pimsleur will prepare you to respond automatically and flexibly to real-life situations.

    Pimsleur courses will also prepare the learner to encounter the embarrassing situations he or she is bound to be placed in as a non-native speaker. The sustained high motivation produced by the Pimsleur Method means that most students will derive more benefits because they will stick to it longer.

    The length of each lesson unit, 1/2 hour long, is that recommended by teaching specialists as the ideal amount of time to hold interest in the student. Individual tastes will vary and most students will want to repeat individual lessons many times for maximum absorption of new language.

     

    Learners trained by this method can easily be phased into whatever other instruction may be available, depending upon the language-fluency requirements of the position. Many job requirements overseas do not require native-language fluency. Pimsleur courses provide training to meet the needs of today's global language requirements. With the Pimsleur Method, you can learn a wide variety of languages with minimum investment of time and excellent results.
