What
is
the
Pimsleur(R)
difference?
The
Pimsleur
Method
provides
the
most
effective
language-learning
program
ever
developed.
The
Pimsleur
Method
gives
you
quick
command
of
Mandarin
Chinese
structure
without
tedious
drills.
Learning
to
speak
Mandarin
Chinese
can
actually
be
enjoyable
and
rewarding.
The
key
reason
most
people
struggle
with
new
languages
is
that
they
aren't
given
proper
instruction,
only
bits
and
pieces
of
a
language.
Other
language
programs
sell
only
pieces
--
dictionaries;
grammar
books
and
instructions;
lists
of
hundreds
or
thousands
of
words
and
definitions;
audios
containing
useless
drills.
They
leave
it
to
you
to
assemble
these
pieces
as
you
try
to
speak.
Pimsleur
enables
you
to
spend
your
time
learning
to
speak
the
language
rather
than
just
studying
its
parts.
When
you
were
learning
English,
could
you
speak
before
you
knew
how
to
conjugate
verbs?
Of
course
you
could.
That
same
learning
process
is
what
Pimsleur
replicates.
Pimsleur
presents
the
whole
language
as
one
integrated
piece
so
you
can
succeed.
With
Pimsleur
you
get:
- Grammar
and
vocabulary
taught
together
in
everyday
conversation,
- Interactive
audio-only
instruction
that
teaches
spoken
language
organically,
The
flexibility
to
learn
anytime,
anywhere,
- 30-minute
lessons
designed
to
optimize
the
amount
of
language
you
can
learn
in
one
sitting.
Millions
of
people
have
used
Pimsleur
to
gain
real
conversational
skills
in
new
languages
quickly
and
easily,
wherever
and
whenever
--
without
textbooks,
written
exercises,
or
drills.
The
10
lessons
in
the
Basic
Mandarin
Chinese
are
the
same
as
the
first
10
lessons
in
the
Pimsleur
Comprehensive
Mandarin
Chinese
Level
1.
The
10
lessons
in
Basic
Mandarin
Chinese
are
also
the
first
10
lessons
in
the
16-lesson
Conversational
Mandarin
Chinese
edition.
Pimsleur
learners
progress
from
either
the
Basic
or
the
Conversational
to
the
Comprehensive
Level
1,
and
not
from
Basic
to
Conversational
edition.

Review
Quotes:
"Pimsleur
programs
provide
plenty
of
positive
reinforcement
that
will
keep
learners
on
track,
and
we
found
that
Pimsleur
gave
us
more
proficiency
and
confidence
in
speaking
the
new
language
than
any
of
the
other
language
programs
we
reviewed."

Review
Quotes:
"EXTREMELY
ACCESSIBLE...each
section
within
the
lessons
is
short
enough
to
hold
our
attention,
and
there
is
enough
repetition
to
teach
even
those
who
consider
themselves
slow
learners...Pimsleur
[programs]
are
extremely
thorough
and
easy
to
use
--
quite
lively!"
