Feel at home in the world.

Chat with the locals in their own language. Forge new friendships.

It’s so intuitive. With Pimsleur, you learn to speak … by conversing. That’s right, you acquire your new language by listening to authentic native speakers, and then mimicking and answering questions. It’s the same way you learned your first language as a child – only it’s dramatically faster this time because Pimsleur courses are specifically designed for the adult brain. You’ll find you master common words and phrases — immediately! Before you know it, you’ll be speaking like a native (and sounding like one, too). You’ll enjoy a warm welcome when the locals embrace you for speaking so they understand. Then discover all you and your new friends have in common … and that you never journey alone.

The powerful science behind Dr. Pimsleur’s approach. 

The Pimsleur Method was developed and patented by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, one of the world’s foremost experts in applied linguistics — a renowned professor, researcher, visionary and founding member of American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. His scientifically proven learning method is based on extensive research of how people master languages. Step-by-step, PIMSLEUR PREMIUM lets you learn a language the way native speakers do — by integrating vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation into everyday conversations.

Dr. Pimsleur developed his system using four proven principles that enhance memory associations and language recall:

Permanently pick up new words and phrases.

By "anticipating" the answer to each question, your brain is actively learning and developing new neural connections.

Learn quickly and respond easily.

We’ve all experienced that tongue-tied feeling when we’re asked to respond to a question in a foreign language. Minutes tick by as you rack your brain for the right words. Dr. Pimsleur developed an arrangement for each lesson consisting of “mini-step challenges” he called “anticipation.” This exclusive technique erases the “fear factor” in conversing and makes it possible to respond naturally and effortlessly in a foreign language.

Speak at an intermediate level after only 30 days.

Although every language has hundreds of thousands of words, you only need to know about 1,500 of them to hold a basic conversation and sound like a native speaker – and only about 5,000 to speak fluently. These “core vocabulary” words are what your Pimsleur course will focus on so you can internalize the words before moving on. Once you master these words, expanding your vocabulary is easy.

Learn grammar by listening—not studying.

You don’t need to study grammar to speak correctly. Your internal language center intuitively knows when something sounds correct. For example, if someone said, “Him and I goed to the store” you would automatically know it isn’t correct. With Pimsleur, you’ll learn proper pronunciation and grammar through conversation – the same way you learned your first language.

I love to travel, and I love to speak with the people when I get there! I have listened to Pimsleur in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, and now Dutch. If you want to learn a language, start with Pimsleur before you do anything else!

Ellen Dawson from New Harbor, Maine

It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s simple.

To be honest, I didn’t think that I would be able to learn a foreign language at 59 years old... I was wrong. With the Pimsleur system, you can’t help but learn.

Kathy Lowrey from Louisville, Kentucky

I recommend your program to everyone.

I've used your Italian, your German, your Japanese, and now your Swedish, all to great effect ...

David Sedaris, Humorist & Best-Selling Author

I love Pimsleur.

Pimsleur dances. It prompts, cajoles, teases, prods you into saying stuff. It is witty. It keeps you constantly on your toes, getting you to think how to use parts of one sentence you’ve learned in combination with parts of another sentence.
