Among the methods, methods and techniques of learning English, the Pimsleur method has always occupied and will continue to occupy its rightful place. Many school teachers include the work of this famous scientist in their lessons. When developing courses for Russian speakers, methodologists rarely ignore the ideas of audiolingual language acquisition.
The essence of the method
Learning any language is work that requires a lot of time and effort. Often people do not have the opportunity to apply both. Very helpful here busy people comes the Pimsleur method.
Paradoxically, it is very busy people who are best attuned to this task. Half an hour in the schedule of a businessman who knows how to properly distribute his time turns out to be much more valuable than the whole day of a person languishing from melancholy and idleness.
The method is based on repeated listening to phrases in audio recordings. For Russian speakers, the recordings are voiced by two native speakers - Russian and English. The entries are clearly divided into syllables, words, phrases, and dialogues.
Since students not only listen to recordings repeatedly, but also pronounce absolutely all English phrases, it would be best to characterize the method as audiolingual, that is, when listening and speaking are actively included in language learning.
Basic Course Elements
They study English using the Pimsleur method in three main stages, consisting of thirty lessons each:
- The first phase of training begins with repeated repetition of the simplest monologues, where each word is repeated in parts until each sound is mastered. With careful practice of each lesson, the level of proficiency increases to the understanding and ability to use phrases in everyday communicative situations.
- In the second phase, some phrases are lengthened to two or three sentences, and by the thirtieth lesson the student is able to communicate with native speakers while traveling abroad.
- In the third phase, the basic idioms of modern English are included in speech, and by the thirtieth lesson, provided that all words, sentences, pronunciation and intonation are fully developed, the student is ready for free communication with native speakers.
Dr. Pimsleur's method is complemented by a short reading course, which is also accompanied by an audio recording. Here the pronunciation of sounds is worked out with special care. This course is especially important for mastering sounds that sound in English with nuances that are difficult for a Russian-speaking person to understand.
What are the advantages of the method?
The good thing about English using Dr. Pimsleur's method is that with a serious attitude and motivation, students can master it from scratch within three months. The method is called “ultra-fast”.
In fact, many people mastered the language using Pimsleur's work, but in three months only those who strictly followed all the instructions succeeded. To learn a language super-fast, you need very strict self-organization and confidence in the result.
There are people who could not learn English using Dr. Pimsleur's method. As a rule, these are impulsive people who do not know how to set themselves a clear goal, which requires discipline and the ability to subordinate oneself to the goal.

Course of study foreign languages Dr. Pimsleur's method is a patented memory training technique that ensures you remember what you learn. This course was created for Russian speakers learning English. Suitable for beginners or existing learners who decide to start learning English on their own.
Lessons consist of thematic dialogues with translation and explanations. You hear explanations and comments about what is being studied in the lessons in Russian; the material itself is spoken American English. Dr. Pimsleur's audio course uses a natural model of the communication process - questions and answers, statements and objections, receiving and requesting information. Learning begins with words and language structures that are most often used by native speakers in everyday communication with each other. This is the minimum required vocabulary, sufficient to ensure the ability to confidently speak oneself and understand by ear speakers in English. Your task is to listen carefully and follow everything the announcers say, carefully pronouncing the proposed sounds, words and sentences. When speaking, try to copy the intonation and pronunciation of the speakers.

“Marina went on a diet - she lay down on the floor, pumping up her abs,
Gritting his teeth, he squats, “Going to the sea in an hour!”
Hello my dear!
You probably want to know why today I took a well-known online joke as an epigraph? And all because our fickle Russian nature loves one simple thing: all at once!
We want to get a house, a job, a husband (wife); We want to know everything, be able to do everything! And you know what I’ll tell you... Surprisingly, the only place where this “everything at once” is possible to a certain extent is the English language.
No, my dears, it didn’t seem like it to you. I really said it. There is simply such a wizard, almost like in the land of Oz - Doctor Pimsleur. Only he gives out not courage, but new methods of learning English. It means that he somehow sat and sat, thought and thought, and came up with a way to quickly learn English. By creating a basic 30 lessons, he gave millions of English language learners the opportunity to master American pronunciation and learn to speak in no time!
How it works?
Dr. Pimsleur's audio course was created with the goal of quickly and effectively learning spoken English. All you need to do is just listen to the recordings every day, repeat after the announcer, and follow his unique memorization technique.
You won’t believe it, but this is the method used by all Russian athletes who don’t know English, because in just a month you can get good skills colloquial speech.
You only need to learn 1 lesson per lesson, but you will have to work through it 100%. Training occurs as follows:
- listen to a recording of a dialogue from native speakers in its entirety,
- then listen to individual phrases from the dialogue and their translation,
- then you are asked to repeat this very phrase,
- and so every new word is learned,
- through numerous repetitions, you get about a hundred new words into your vocabulary, spending only 30 minutes on it.
This audio course will not take you much time to learn. On the way to university or to the office, in the car, on the subway, while having lunch or preparing breakfast - you can easily set aside a few minutes to master the language. Every day you will be able to memorize new expressions, and in a month, at this rate, you will be able to fly to America to chat with people in Hyde Park. Well, isn't it great?
Why does this work?
As I already said, in 30 lessons you will hear a lot of dialogues, a lot of new set expressions, and it is through constant repetition that these words and expressions will be stored in your memory. You will memorize ready-made combinations, and not just learn selected words from the dictionary, the process of improving your oral speech will go much faster.
Therefore, do not even doubt that by lesson 27 you will be able to explain yourself, ask and answer. In addition, you will develop good American pronunciation, which not every English student can boast of using textbooks and dictionaries.

If you have listened to these lessons, but it seems to you that they are not enough for you, then I give a link to the page especially for you with second level lessons — ! This level is a little more difficult. The vocabulary here is not so simple, but it is still far from an advanced level.
I also provide a link to the page (), where you can download (but not listen online) audio Lessons also at level 3- this is already the so-called “advanced” level.

Do you want another surprise?
Incredibly, our good wizard also has wonderful reading exercises. Personally, I know a lot of people who speak excellent English because they have been to America, for example, and communicated with native speakers. Their spoken language is excellent, but what is most amazing is that they have no idea how to read or write the very words they speak. Amazing, right?
