Pimsleur Method and Learning Technology

Our company employs a proprietary system combining graduated interval recall with natural audio immersion. The method follows Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s linguistic research, replicating how children acquire language through repeated listening and speaking practice. Each 30-minute lesson implements spaced repetition, anticipation exercises, and organic learning progressions. These components prioritize active engagement rather than passive memorization. This approach helps learners in the USA develop conversational fluency rapidly.
