Dr. Paul Pimsleur, creator of the renowned Pimsleur Method, a leader in audio-based language learning, shows how anyone can learn to speak a foreign language. If trying to learn a language in high school left you with a sense that there was no way you can learn another language, this will restore your sense of hope. Dr. Pimsleur will help you learn grammar (seamlessly), vocabulary, and how to practice pronunciation (and come out sounding like a native). The key is the simplicity and directness of the author's approach, breaking it down piece by piece, demystifying the process along the way. Dr. Pimsleur draws on his own language learning trials and tribulations offering practical advice for overcoming the obstacles so many of us face. Originally published in 1980, this is a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the mind of this pioneer of language learning.
