About the Author
Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called “Graduated Interval Recall.” This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs.

Taken for a native speaker, April 9 2010
By K. A. Conrad "kacnmt" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ukrainian, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand Ukrainian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
I got this course 6 weeks before I left for Kiev and studied it during my commute to work. I was able to get around Kiev easily (I did also memorize the Cyrillic alphabet so I coudl read signs, as well). Several people assumed I was fluent in the language -- the range of my conversation was excellent and my accent was impeccable.I also learned Pimsleur Brazilian Portuguese before going there, using Pimsleur -- I love the courses!!!

Best of four language programs, May 14 2011

This review is from: Ukrainian, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand Ukrainian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
I have purchased and worked my way through three other language programs, but keep coming back to the Pimsleur method. The great advantage of Pimsleur presentations is the timing intervals between when a word is introduced and when the programs asks me to recall the word. In the intervening time the program reviews other earlier words and sentences to which I have already been introduced. This timing is based upon scientific measurements of how long a new word can be remembered. The method works for me.One very pleasant discovery is that Pimsleur carefully introduces the pronunciation of each new word syllable by syllable, starting with the last syllable which is of course the easiest to recall! Again this method helps me to learn good pronunciation. Pimsleur also uses both male and female voices to repeat each word. The result of this technique is good pronunciation. Sometimes the pronunciation of certain letter combinations is strange to my English ear, but the program repetition causes my ear to eventually tune to correct speaking in a foreign language.
I have used Pimsleur programs for two languages and do prefer this program method over others which I have encountered.

We used this set to learn basic Ukrainian before going there for an adoption trip. I was complemented by several native Ukrainians on my accent and the system was easy to use. We plan to get the next Pimsleur set to increase/improve our Ukrainian. You can't go wrong with this, for the price and the effectiveness!!
