 | French II by Pimsleur Language Method Staff
With Pimsleur Language Programs you don't just study a language, you learn it the same way you mastered English! And because the technique relies on interactive spoken language training, the Pimsleur Language Programs are totally audio -- no books are needed! The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar are all learned together without mindless memorization. Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do. By simply listening and responding to a native speaker in thirty minute recorded lessons, students learn a new language at their own pace -- comfortably and effectively. The Pimsleur Comprehensive Program is the ultimate in spoken language learning. For those who want to become proficient in the language of their choice, the Comprehensive Program goes beyond the popular Pimsleur Basic eight lesson programs to offer spoken-language fluency. The Comprehensive Program is available in a wide variety of languages and runs through three levels (thirty lessons each) in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. At the end of a Complete Comprehensive Program listeners will be conducting full-fledged conversations and be well on their way to mastering the language. AUTHOR: Pimsleur Language Method Staff
