Anticipation -- by anticipating the answer to questions from your audio tutor, you are actively thinking and practicing just like you need to do in a real situation. Remember — repeating and practicing words and phrases at specific time intervals helps embed what you learn in your long-term memory.
You don't have to be in a classroom or sit at a computer to learn a new language. Any situation where you can listen to audio lessons on your smartphone or device, you can be learning your new language at the same time! You can see by the situations in the photos below, that you can learn on-the-go or in lots of everyday situations!
I have been trying to learn this language for a long time and this is is the first method I have found that works for me. I can listen to then on my smartphone while I'm showering and getting ready in the morning.
I can listen and learn while I'm driving or riding the bus. I enjoy doing woodworking, and I can listen and practice while I'm out in my garage working. And sometimes I even listen to them in the evening while I'm relaxing in the living room or in bed. I don't have to block out time -- I just listen, practice, and improve my language proficiency at the same time as I'm doing other things during the day.
I have tried classroom courses and Rosetta Stone. But what the Pimsleur course helped me with was being able to have real conversations. The practice conversations, where they teach and help you learn words and small phrases, and then mix them up and recombine them over and over in different ways, really helped me learn to use my French in realistic ways. No, I joke, but seriously folks. I listened to Pimsleur Spanish I and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's how the program is laid out.
Each lesson is a half hour and it starts with a conversation in Spanish that you can't completely understand as many of the words will be taught to you during the lesson. They use the conversation throughout the session to teach you as you listen and repeat what the narrator says in English and Spanish and I can't quite entirely remember how it goes but it's easy and you repeat these words out loud which is usually more engaging than you average high school Spanish class.
Then at the end of the class they repeat the conversation and you know it entirely. What I love most about Dr. Paul and his Pimsleur Method is that he reintegrates the words that you've learned in previous lessons. Even high school Spanish didn't do that very much.
Usually you learned a clump of related words and then moved on to the next clump of related words and by the time you learned them you forgot the first clump. The Pimsleur Method is fully integrated from the first lesson to the last so you remember the whole of the language. Pimsleur lessons are absolutely perfect for commutes alone since you can sit there and listen and repeat and feel like you've learned something new that day.
For jogging or otherwise you can quietly MutterOutLoud the lessons to yourself. Or you can just go crazy and pretend you're talking Spanish into a blue tooth cell phone! Theatre Works Plays We've just added about 70 new full cast audio dramas from the best publisher of plays on audio: L.
