Numerous studies have revealed that in every country, native-speakers use only about 2,500 distinct words and phrases on a daily basis. Dr. Pimsleur spent his lifetime studying these language building blocks. With the Pimsleur approach, it's not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use. By aiming each lesson at teaching you to use those 2500 words, the Pimsleur approach teaches you to speak the most Czech in the least amount of time. How old were you when you ate your first cookie? Try not to laugh! Did you know what a cookie was before your first bite? Mommy or Daddy didn't force you to memorize the ingredients before your first taste. But you sure knew how to ask for seconds! Pimsleur makes learning and speaking Czech just that easy. You just have to listen and participate with your Pimsleur course. By age four, a child has acquired the building blocks of a "first" language at a rate of about one every five hours of waking time exposed to the language in use. With this course, YOU will learn Czech at the rate of almost one item for every minute of Pimsleur training. Lerny presents a carefully chosen selection of four images and asks you to select the image that matches the written text and the voices of native speakers.

The Lerny curriculum is carefully sequenced, gradually incorporating new words, phrases, and more complex grammar as it reinforces existing learning. Your understanding of your new language grows naturally. The way language is naturally acquired-in real-life second language learning situations-is by listening to the language itself. And analyzing it yourself. The people who learn second languages most successfully, are not those who go to language schools. If you go to a language school, you tend to go somewhere where they have a special theory about how language should be learned, and they impose that theory upon you. But actually, the human mind is constructed to learn language. That's one of the basic things. Just as a spider spins its web, so too do people acquire language. It's just as natural as that. If you try to constrain that process by imposing some regime that you've thought, theoretically, that ought to work, it really doesn't help. The Pimsleur approach's success lies in its ability to mimic natural language acquisition.

You have to ask yourself, why is it that so many people try to learn foreign languages and fail abysmally. I think there are 2 reasons why they fail: they're not motivated enough and they don't have sufficient exposure to the real thing. The key to language learning is a combination of these two things. In regards to motivation, a lot of that's got to come from the learner. But given the learner has a reasonable amount of motivation, then the burden lies upon the course to hold the learner's attention and continually present them with material that is both interesting in itself, and relevant to the kinds of things the learner will have to do when he's using the language. That will keep up the motivation. Now, as for the material, if you have material produced by a native speaker of that language, and a sufficient amount of that material is provided, then language learning takes place. Since we are equipped to learn languages, the brain does the rest of the job for us. All it needs is sufficient motivation and sufficient first-class, first-language speaker material from which to learn. I think what makes the Pimsleur approach most effective is that it engages the learner from the very first stage and presents him with situations that hold his interest and attention-and it's been carefully prepared to do so. Let's face it, alot of foreign language work can be terribly boring. And one of the key elements in language learning is motivation. If the learner is not motivated and gets presented with mechanical, repetitive kinds of exercise, then it becomes a chore. To find a language program that holds the learner's interest is really something quite rare. And I think the.
