This Comprehensive Arabic (Eastern) program includes 30 lessons of essential grammar and vocabulary: 16 hours of real-life spoken practice sessions, plus an introduction to reading. A Reading Booklet and a User’s Guide are included to introduce you to the Pimsleur Method. The Pimsleur approach is so effective because it is based on tried and tested techniques and principles that enable rapid and successful language learning.
Devised by language educator Dr. Paul Pimsleur, Simon and Schuster’s Pimsleur Language courses provide the listener with a comprehensive, self instructional, step-by-step guide on how to learn a new language. The unique audio method allows the listener to learn pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar without repetitive rote learning, in a similar way to how we acquired our native language components.
On the surface, the Pimsleur Method is a way to begin speaking and understanding a foreign language effortlessly. In fact, it is a dynamic combination of techniques that will pull you inside a language allowing you to engage in complex conversations with confidence and fluency. Developed after years of research (and through much trial and error), Pimsleur Language Programs are an effective method for teaching people to speak foreign languages. Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was a leading expert in applied linguistics.
The Pimsleur Method is based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training called Graduated Interval Recall. In addition, all Pimsleur courses feature highly-selected vocabulary taught in real-life situations that maximize your ability to recall and communicate on demand.
