#PIMSLEUR GERMAN SOFTWARE#

The Pimsleur language learning programs were developed in the 1970s, when the best available language learning technology was a cassette tape player.В In recent times,В Pimsleur has been copying the cassette tape courses onto CDs and then, more recently, into digital MP3 downloads.В They recently added a software version for both PC and Mac.

Technology From the 1970s Plus Downloadable MP3 Files and Software So we buy and donвЂ™t usually ask for refunds of products that canвЂ™t possibly deliver on what the marketers promise. We want to believe that we can learn a language well with very little effort. The reason that most marketers of language learning products are such bold-facedВ liars is that the lies work. However, if you study every day with Pimsleur you probably will be happy with what you learn. The trouble is that Simon &В Schuster is currently advertising that you can learn a new language to an intermediate level inВ 30 days. This eventually annoyed so many customers that Simon &В Schuster (the publisher of Pimsleur) cancelled Pimsleur ApproachвЂ™s contract, and Pimsleur Approach is no longer selling Pimsleur products. No, you wonвЂ™t learn Spanish inВ 30 days with Pimsleur.

Pimsleur Approach was a marketing company with a license to sell Pimsleur products for several years. Pimsleur language coursesВ that use spaced repetition were developedВ when cassette-tape technology became widespread in the 1970s. Mace, so itвЂ™s an old and reliable concept. Spaced repetition was invented back in 1932 by Professor C. You will learn a lot (and remember a lot) for every hour you spend studying with any spaced-repetition method. This learning method works for everyone who is willing to use it. The time intervals grow quickly until they are measured in days and then weeks. Then you will be asked to say it 45 seconds later, then 1.5 minutes after that, and so on. The intervals start out very short and get longer and longer.ДЇor example, first you hear a word and then youвЂ™re asked to say it 15 seconds later. Next, youвЂ™re asked to remember the phrase and say the words out loud at timed intervals.

First, you listen to a foreign-language phrase, and then you are asked to repeat it.

Yes, you can learn a lot of Spanish inВ 30 days with Pimsleur, but nobody would seriously say you speak Spanish at an intermediate level afterВ 30 days of study with Pimsleur. For example, PimsleurВ has often advertisedВ that you can learn your new language to an intermediate level inВ 30 days. Pimsleur (and others marketing their products) often make marketing claims that are wildly unrealistic. The most important reason Pimsleur language programs work is that Pimsleur uses something called вЂњspaced repetition.вЂќ I explain spaced repetition in the detailed review below.

If you are one of the many peopleВ trying Duolingo, you may want to read why Duolingo is a slow way to learn. For example, you may want to read my reviews of Rosetta Stone. There are some competitors I never recommend. Other competitors that I sometimes recommendВ are YablaВ (for intermediate and advanced learners) and FluenzВ (for people who want to prepare for an in-person class). I liked Pimsleur back then, and I still like it, even though I now make a competing language learning product. I had my first language-learning success with Pimsleur.
