  Pimsleur Chinese Language Courses

The Pimsleur Method:

With the Pimsleur Language Programs you don't just study a language, you learn it -- the same way you mastered English! And because the technique relies on interactive spoken language training, the Pimsleur Language Programs are totally audio -- no book is needed!

   The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information.  The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills.  Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do.  By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency.

   No other language program or school is as quick, convenient, and effective as the Pimsleur Language Programs.

   The Pimsleur language courses are offered in both the "Basic" and the "Comprehensive" programs.  The Comprehensive Program is the ultimate in spoken language learning.  For those who want to become proficient in the language of their choice, the Comprehensive programs go beyond the Basic Programs to offer true spoken-language fluency.  Using the same simple method of interactive self-practice with native speakers, these comprehensive programs provide a complete language learning course.  The Comprehensive Programs are available in a wide variety of languages and run through three levels (thirty lessons each).

   At the end of a full Comprehensive Program listeners will be conducting complete conversations and be well on their way to mastering the language.

Pimsleur Chinese (Mandarin) Comprehensive Audio CD Language Course, Level 1.  Includes 30 instruction units of 30 minutes each on 16 audio CD discs.
Review by customer:  "This was a very solid method of learning that focuses heavily on speaking and conversation.  Learning characters at the same time as the speaking language can be very intimidating and most professors would agree that there should be a substantial amount of lag between the spoken and written Chinese. 
   The Pimsleur method does not offer character knowledge, but it does allow a student to grasp the tones and sounds which are so vital to the language.  I would suggest to anyone who is listening to the audio CDs to begin with the CDs and then, only when comfortable with pronunciation and tones, to go pick up some character and vocabulary texts.
   This was definitely money well spent because it really was a great way to begin my intensive Mandarin Chinese course."
