About the Author

Dr. Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and was one of the world's leading experts in applied linguistics. After obtaining his Ph.D. in French from Columbia University, he taught French Phonetics and Phonemics, and supervised the language laboratory at UCLA. He went on to become Professor of Romance Languages and Language Education, and Director of The Listening Center at Ohio State University; Professor of Education and Romance Languages at the State University of New York at Albany; and a Fulbright lecturer at the University of Heidelberg. Dr. Pimsleur was a member of the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF), American Educational Research Association (AERA), Modern Language Association (MLA), and a founding member of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). His many books and articles revolutionized theories of language learning and teaching. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed a new method that 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bait and switch!, Jan 3 2003
By A Customer
I thought the first eight lessons were great and really enjoyed learning from them. Based on that alone, I would have given them a 5-start rating. However, I became extremely frustrated and felt "tricked" when I looked up the remaining lessons and discovered they cost [a lot]... I felt like the inexpensive introductory lessons ... were luring you into buying their more advanced and overpriced products. I also don't understand why their CD-sets are almost 20% more expensive than their cassette-tape sets. I really want to learn Portuguese, but I certainly cannot afford to spend [that much money].

4.0 out of 5 stars A good but limited start, Oct 10 2002
By A Customer
This tape or CD set is a nice introduction to Brazilian portuguese at a nice low price. You will learn the correct pronounication and, since vocabulary is introduced gradually with lots of review, you will not forgot what you have learned. Since it is all audio (no book) you can easily use this while driving. But you really don't learn that much material and will not be able to say more than some basic sentences when finished. Also, you will have no idea what the language looks like on paper - and when you do see it, you might be very surprised. This beginning set continues with a full 30 lesson Pimsleur series that is very expensive and not really worth it if the same rate of progress occurs over the 30 lesson series as with this set. I suggest you try this introduction to learn some basics, and then move on to other materials to build on what you have learned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good...but really should have an accompanying book....
I thought the CD's were done very well and they DO help you learn the language. However, they really need to offer a book to compliment the CD's. Read more
