Your understanding of your new language grows naturally. 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.

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. Languages are naturally acquired by people listening to language. The human brain is built to analyze it. You know, there are a lot of places in the world-not in America-but in supposedly "backwards" places like West Africa, New Guinea, where it is commonplace to find people who speak half a dozen languages. How do they do that? There are no language schools. So, they do it because it's part of their lives. They go down to the market, they find people talking in 4 or 5 languages and if they're going to do any trade-or buy anything-they have to know just enough of the other language to get by. So, this is how languages are learned, whether by adults or by children-by listening and interacting with real people in real-life situations. It is easier to start to learn a new language than to become good at it, and almost certainly is more fun. I've started to learn many new languages. French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Afrikaans to name but a few. I can't speak them yet but I've started and I've picked up a few words and phrases that help me when I'm visiting, and equally importantly I’ve had fun doing this. For example, I've started to learn Italian but I haven't learnt any Italian grammar,.

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 Pimsleur approach certainly does that. Here is one suggestion for learning common words and phrases. Watch television concentrating on the soaps. This is helpful because the language is repeated again and again, the words used are in common use and you see and hear the same actors each time you watch. This means that you will become used to their accents which will help improve comprehension. Look up the commonly used expressions, which after a while you won't forget because every time you watch your favourite soap you will hear them. It is worth remembering that it is easier to start a task than finish it, and the same goes for learning a new language. The better you are at it the slower your rate of progress, as you have to learn grammar, learn less common words and so on. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and phrases you will enjoy a faster rate of progress, have more fun, and don't have to spend to much time on any given language. Starting to learn a new language is a very rewarding activity and an ideal way to begin.
