In this entertaining and groundbreaking book, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, creator of the renowned Pimsleur Method, the world leader in audio-based language learning, shows how anyone can learn to speak a foreign language. If learning a language in high school left you bruised, with a sense that there was no way you can learn another language, How to Learn a Foreign Language will restore your sense of hope. In simple, straightforward terms, Dr. Pimsleur will help you learn grammar (seamlessly), vocabulary, and how to practice pronunciation (and come out sounding like a native). The key is the simplicity and directness of Pimsleur's approach to a daunting subject, breaking it down piece by piece, demystifying the process along the way. Dr. Pimsleur draws on his own language learning trials and tribulations offering practical advice for overcoming the obstacles so many of us face. Originally published in 1980, How to Learn a Foreign Language is now available on the 50th anniversary of Dr. Pimsleur's publication of the first of his first audio courses that embodied the concepts and methods found here. It's a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the mind of this amazing pioneer of language learning. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Paul Pimsleur shares his ideas and tips on how to learn a foreign language, which can sometimes be a daunting and stressing task for the beginner. He examines why many drop out already at the start and blames bad and uninspiring teachers.
This book is a quick read, with short easy to understand chapters. It's packed with interesting tidbits from stories about language, his own travels, Ingrid Bergman, Richard Burton (not the actor), and Boswell, to leaning verbs horizontally, using flash cards and learning sentences rather than individual words.
Anyone interested in learning a foreign language, should start out reading this first. Start by reading a chapter a day to allow for reflection: It'll save you time and mistakes.
First published posthumously in 1980 with the sudden death of Pimsleur at 48, this text was out of print for decades, only to be recently re-published in 2013 in hardback. - IRONJAW'S BOOK REVIEW, Review #6. January 18th 2015 . ( )
