The method of Pimsleur. We don’t know what makes this 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.

Anticipation is a principle. Your brain has less than a second to come up with the right word. This increases retention and cements the word in your mind.

There is a core vocabulary. Words, phrases, and sentences are used in everyday conversation. We increase your ability with every lesson.

Interval recall is graduated. Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.

The learning is organic. You are working on multiple aspects of the language at the same time. The language is integrated into every lesson to allow you to experience it as a living, breathing form of human culture.

Learning in the present. The ability to remember has been shown to be accelerated by learning new words in context. In every Pimsleur lesson, there is a conversation between two people. There are no drills for success.

Active participation. The Pimsleur Method is successful. The method works with all languages and people who follow it. You can use what you know and add new words in the same way you do in English.

The language of Brazil is Portuguese. Portuguese is the mother tongue of over 200 million people, mainly in Portugal and the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic, Brazil and Portugal’s former overseas provinces in Africa and Asia.
