We integrate grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation into every lesson, which allows you to experience the language as a living, expressive form of human culture. You work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory. We don’t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson. Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation.
Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind. In the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. We make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. It’s a powerful combination that makes Pimsleur different from every other method on the market. Learning the sound of each letter alone and in culturally distinct combinations allows your brain to process what you’re hearing in the audio lessons from a new and different perspective. These lessons, which total about one hour, are designed to give you practice reading German, and to provide you with some insight into German culture with proverbs, common expressions, and a broad look at things you’ll experience when visiting a German-speaking country. Reading Lessons are included at the end of Lesson 30. By the end of the program, you’ll be speaking at a mid-intermediate level with near-native pronunciation, and you’ll be comfortable meeting most social demands and limited job requirements. You’ll explore sports and leisure activities, manage changing money and banking, and discuss travel plans. You’ll be able to ask for assistance in many situations and to ask for directions to various locations. You’ll learn to express yourself with relative structures – faster, slower, etc. In the final 10 lessons you’ll double your vocabulary and have several hundred structures to draw upon. You’ll be discussing business and social activities, expressing your interests, and talking about the weather. The next 10 lessons will allow you to further combine and build upon known elements, and produce longer and more complex sentences. As you progress, your fluency will increase as your vocabulary expands. Soon you’ll take part in conversations about ordering meals, shopping, and local tourist attractions. Structures become more complex and informal speech is introduced. In the first 10 lessons you’ll begin using the past tense.
