Pimsleur Technique
We are open about what makes this strong methodology so effective. The precise components that anybody may utilize to learn a language fast and simply were the focus of Paul Pimsleur’s career-long study and development. Some of his “secrets” are listed below:

The Anticipation Principle
Your brain has to work in the instant between a stimulus and your answer to come up with the appropriate term. Having to do this increases retention and helps you remember the term.

Default Vocabulary
The utility of the chosen words, phrases, and sentences in casual speech is taken into consideration. We gradually build up your skill with each lesson so as not to overburden you.

Recall with Graduated Intervals
New words and grammatical constructions are brought to mind at precisely the right time to ensure long-term memory storage and optimal retention.

Organic Education
You work on several language-related issues at once. Every class includes the integration of grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation so that you may experience the language as a dynamic, expressive aspect of human civilization.

Education in Context
According to research, learning new words in context significantly improves your memory. Every scenario in each Pimsleur lesson is framed by a dialogue between two characters. Drills and memorization are not essential for success.

Active Involvement
Success is a result of the Pimsleur Method and engaged students. Every learner who uses this method and uses it with any language is successful. You acquire the ability to use what you already know and add new words with ease, just like you do in English.

The Portuguese language of Brazil
About 230 million people, mostly in Portugal and the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic, Brazil, and Portugal’s former overseas territories in Africa and Asia, are native speakers of Portuguese. The So Paulo metropolitan dialect is taught in Pimsleur’s Brazilian Portuguese course.
