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:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Principle of Anticipation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCore Vocabulary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation.

Every scene in every Pimsleur lesson is set inside a conversation between two people. There are no drills, and no memorization necessary for success.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eActive Participation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Pimsleur Method + active learner participation = success.
