Language Learning - Pimsleur

Dr. Paul Pimsleur's Patented Principles Make It Easy Dr. Pimsleur was a language educator for over 20 years. He noticed that children have an amazing ability to learn new languages--quickly. That's why there are so many bilingual 5-year olds. Dr. Pimsleur spent his life developing this course to let you learn a new language as easily as a child. You've taken the Quick & Simple course and now know how easy it is to learn a language. Dr. Pimsleur gently exposed you to 4 of his patented principles.

His most important principle was inspired by watching his kids! It became obvious that his programs must mimic how we learn as children. Before you learn to read and write, you learn to speak. That's why our courses only focus on speaking. There's no textbook approach. When you know what sounds right everything else is easy. In his research studies, Dr. Pimsleur found that students maintain the highest level of attention and recall when they are invited into a conversation. To learn quickly, you must be active in learning while you listen. That’s why you participated in your first lesson after only a few minutes of listening. Finally, the only point of learning a language is to communicate. Our parents first teach us to survive. It's not long before we are exploring the world on our own two feet. At a minimum, this requires a basic vocabulary for use in everyday life. That's exactly what you'll learn in Gold 1. Read more below to learn about our methodology.
