This month, we want to introduce you to what we think is the absolute best method for beginners in French. Actually, I used it to learn Russian, and can testify how effective it is.

Dr. Pimsleur's Method of Learning is based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory that he called Graduated Interval Recall. This program incorporates both of these principles to provide you with the most simple and effective learning method possible. His method also incorporates two other unique components that are also important: Core Vocabulary Acquisition, and the Organic Learning Method.

Just have a look at the customer reviews on Amazon:

"I really wish I'd discovered Pimsleur earlier. Over the decades I have been exposed to countless different linguistic approaches to learning languages, but none have impressed me as much as that of Pimsleur."

"With Pimsleur you are guaranteed a meticulously structured approach to learning in which you can have complete confidence. Also many of us lead busy lives and may have trouble making it to classes. With Pimsleur CDs and an MP3 player you can learn while you drive, while sitting in the train, while waiting in long queues or while going around the supermarket. Half an hour here and there soon adds up."
