About the Author:

Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called “Graduated Interval Recall.” This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs.

"Learn basic conversation fast with . . . the all-audio Pimsleur Method series." -- Business 2.0 Magazine

"Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." -- Audiofile Magazine

"Extremely accessible . . . each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners . . . Pimsleur [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use -- quite lively!" -- Boston Herald

"I tried other language programs with little success . . . This is the best by far!" -- Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot International Society of Women Airline Pilots
