And based on testing results by a nationally recognized agency, Pimsleur is the foremost language program in the successful teaching of spoken foreign-language communications skills to adults.You can learn Spanish! You really can learn everything you need to speak Spanish fluently in only 45 hours! Numerous studies have revealed that in every country, native-speakers use only about 2,500 distinct words and phrases on a daily basis. Dr. Pimsleur spent his lifetime studying these language building blocks. With the Pimsleur approach, it’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use. By aiming each lesson at teaching you to use those 2500 words, the Pimsleur approach teaches you to speak the most Spanish in the least amount of time.  Dr. Pimsleur Dr. Pimsleur was a language educator for 40 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, as an adult, learn Spanish as easily as a child would. You might not realize it, but you’ve already learned one language using the Pimsleur approach. Your first language!  Children love cookies How old were you when you ate your first cookie? Try not to laugh! Did you know what a cookie was before your first bite? Mommy or Daddy didn’t force you to memorize the ingredients before your first taste. But you sure knew how to ask for seconds! The Pimsleur approach makes learning and speaking Spanish just that easy. You just have to listen and participate with your Pimsleur course.By age four, a child has acquired the building blocks of a “first” language at a rate of about one every five hours of waking time exposed to the language in use. With this course, YOU will learn Spanish at the rate of almost one item for every minute of Pimsleur training.You learned your first language in between 10,000 and 30,000 hours but you were unconscious much of the time. With Pimsleur, you can now learn each of your next languages in only three 15-hour stages.  The Purpose, of Course The entire Pimsleur approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun, and easy! Many foreign language students have difficulty learning. Their textbooks teach monotonous drills, grammar rules, and random lists of words. But textbooks alone can never bring it all together.Your only real goal in taking any Spanish course is to speak Spanish naturally with others.Dr. Pimsleur designed each lesson as the foundation for the next. In other words, you’ll keep building on what you’ve previously learned. Best of all, the Pimsleur Spanish course does not waste your time by cramming grammar down your throat. You learn to recognize what sounds right through practice. The Pimsleur approach’s subtle grammar lessons won’t seem like grammar lessons at all.  The Pimsleur approach is Scientific The Pimsleur approach is so effective because it traces how people developed language. Before written history, we had oral history. Most people, even kings, couldn’t write or read in ancient times. Some people can’t even read today. Most language learning systems fail to acknowledge that writing only exists to represent the words we speak. So you should ask yourself, “Why should I learn to read Spanish if I can’t even speak it?”The Pimsleur Spanish course immediately immerses you in a Spanish conversation to help you grasp the syntax or structure of the Spanish language. Amazingly, once you understand the syntax, that chaotic, “foreign” sound so common to language learning disappears instantly. You’ll start to recognize words and phrases. The Pimsleur approach will help to change your perception within your first 30 minutes!  Aren’t CD-ROM courses supposed to be the best value? Every year, new and ineffective CD-ROM products flood the marketplace billed as the wave of the future for all language learners. Do not be fooled by the colorful packaging! The Pimsleur approach is unique: it was produced by Dr. Pimsleur, a language teacher with over 40 years of experience, to help you achieve language proficiency that can be measured. The Pimsleur approach is even superior to college language instruction. You do want to speak Spanish, don’t you?  The best guarantee of its kind Maybe you’ve already tried to learn a language but realized it was all in vain. Don’t give up. It’s time to change your approach! In only thirty days, you’ll learn to speak Spanish or we’ll refund your money. You don’t have anything to lose… You can start to speak Spanish now!
