Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. Here are a few of his secrets:The Principle of AnticipationIn the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind.Core VocabularyWords, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. We dont overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson.Graduated Interval RecallReminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your longterm memory.Organic LearningYou work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. 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.Learning in ContextResearch has\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimsleur","offers":[{"title":"Pimsleur \/ audioCD","offer_id":47846661030133,"sku":"SONG0743528832","price":127.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71k12T-fkxL.jpg?v=1773837923","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/pimsleur-japanese-level-2-cd-learn-to-speak-and-understand-japanese-with-pimsleur-language-programs-2-comprehensive","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
