Product Information

The Easiest and Fastest Way to Learn Spanish Did you know that Spanish is the world's second most commonly spoken language? For Americans, it's one of the easiest to learn, and you won't find anything faster or easier than the Pimsleur(R) Method. Even knowing a little bit of Spanish will make travel to Latin America or Spanish-speaking countries a breeze. Whether you want to travel, communicate with friends or colleagues, reconnect with family, or just understand more of what's going on in the world around you, learning Spanish will expand your horizons and immeasurably enrich your life. The best part is that it doesn't have to be difficult or take years to master. Thirty minutes a day is all it takes, and we get you speaking right from the first day. Pimsleur courses use a scientifically-proven method that puts you in control of your learning. If you've tried other language learning methods but found they simply didn't stick, then you owe it to yourself to give Pimsleur a try. Why Pimsleur? - Quick + Easy - Only 30 minutes a day. - Portable + Flexible - Core lessons can be done anytime, anywhere, and easily fit into your busy life. - Proven Method - Works when other methods fail. - Self-Paced - Go fast or go slow - it's up to you. - Based in Science - Developed using proven research on memory and learning. - Cost-effective - Less expensive than classes or immersion, and features all native speakers. - Genius - Triggers your brain's natural aptitude to learn. - Works for everyone - Recommended for ages 13 and above. What's Included? - 30, 30-minute audio lessons - 60 minutes of reading instruction to provide you with an introduction to reading Spanish designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent - in total, 16 hours of audio, all featuring native speakers - a Reading Booklet and User's Guide What You'll Learn In the first 10 lessons, you'll cover the basics: saying hello, asking for or giving information, scheduling a meal or a meeting, asking for or giving basic directions, and much more. You'll be able to handle minimum courtesy requirements, understand much of what you hear, and be understood at a beginning level, but with near-native pronunciation skills. In the next 10 lessons, you'll build on what you've learned. Expand your menu, increase your scheduling abilities from general to specific, start to deal with currency and exchanging money, refine your conversations and add over a hundred new vocabulary items. You'll understand more of what you hear, and be able to participate with speech that is smoother and more confident. In the final 10 lessons, you'll be speaking and understanding at an intermediate level. In this phase, more directions are given in the target language, which moves your learning to a whole new plane. Lessons include shopping, visiting friends, going to a restaurant, plans for the evening, car trips, and talking about family. You'll be able to speak comfortably about things that happened in the past and make plans for the future. Reading Lessons are included at the end of Lesson 30 to provide you with an introduction to reading Spanish. These lessons, which total about one hour, are designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent. The Pimsleur Method We make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. 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 Anticipation 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. Core Vocabulary Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday convers

    A valuable learning tool for a great price.

    I've been using these language CDs since they arrived. I am very happy with them so far but I'm only on lesson 6. I knew when I bought these the written manuel was not included with these used CDs. I am making such good progress with them that I would love to have a manual so I can also learn to read and see the words and phrases.

  • Awesome product and an excellent and easy way to learn Spanish get it!!!!!!

    I listen to the CD's in my car coming from and going to work. There very easy to listen to and learn from. I'm on the last CD in the Spanish 1 set and I'm almost ready to buy the entire Spanish 2 set which will be soon. It takes me maybe a week or two to learn the entire CD before moving to the next CD. They recommend learning at least 80% before moving to the next CD but I'm a little anal if you will and like to be around 95-100% which again is just me before moving on. I'm also completely confident that I have learned a great amount of Spanish already in the Spanish 1 set and I know I will continue to enjoy learning more from the rest of the set's as I master them and the Spanish language. I would absolutely recommend the Pimsleur Spanish to anyone who is considering learning Spanish. ...

  • Good use of down time in the car...

    I previously did the Pimsleur Portuguese and found it very easy to follow and was most helpful during my stay in Brazil. I got a lot more out of the trip having a basis on which to communicate. Now I am learning Spanish and it is exavtly the same formula so now I will know how to find The Colombus Hotel in 2 languages! Very easy to learn and I really enjoy the length of the lessons so that I can make good use of my time driving to and from work. I highly recommend this series for the audible learner.

  • Spanish 1 by Pimsleur

    At the age of 55 I knew learning a new language would be difficult but a friend recommended Pimsleur's and so i gave it a try. I absolutely love the Pimsleur method. It is easy, it is fun and Mr. Pimsleur has developed a method of learning that works along with how our brains process information so that we are better able to grasp and remember what we have learned. I am amazed at how much I am able to remember and retain in a very short time from this method. In fact, I was so impressed with this program that I have since bought additional sets for my friends. I highly recommend the Pimsleur programs.

  • Read, listen, and repeat work much better than just listen and repeat..

    Audio-only language studies are very difficult, as varying means and methods of speaking can arise from the same speaker from lesson to lesson. However, learning a new alphabet poses no problem for anyone willing to learn a new language. In order to clearly perceive various nuances unique to each language, a transcript of each lesson should be made available to the student, written in the language being studied. Pimsleur boasts that no written material need accompany the tongue being studied, but that is a ridiculous assumption and declaration. Students are forced to try and locate dictionaries and phrase books, so that they can generate and study word and phrase lists during the day. Some language packs do include word lists, but these lists, numbered by lesson, do not reflect the ...
