Learn a New Language in 30 Minutes A Day, When its Convenient for You and from the Comfort of Your Own Home, Thanks to the Key to Memory

If you’ve thought about learning a foreign language, but have let fears or time constraints hold you back, it’s time to think again. Now you can learn any foreign language in just 30 minutes a day, tapping into the remarkable graduated interval recall memory principle.

You may have heard of graduated interval recall, which was pioneered by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, who dedicated his life to language testing and teaching, and who spoke French and German and could carry on conversations in Italian, Russian, Modern Greek, and Mandarin Chinese.

In a nutshell, Dr. Pimsleur studied extensively how long people can remember new information and at what intervals they need to be reminded of it to retain the new information fully, then translated these studies into self-study, audio language courses that boast unparalleled results.

In his extensive studies, Dr. Pimsleur concluded that if people are reminded of new information, such as words and sentences in a foreign language,

too soon or too late, they simply do not retain it. This discovery helped Dr. Pimsleur pinpoint a timetable for how and even when new information is best introduced, with the ultimate goal being maximum retention, or the learning of a new language.

Make it Easy Says Pimsleur

Applied to Dr. Pimsleur’s foreign language courses, this is how it works: You learn by listening to engaging audio files how to use a new word or phrase at increasingly longer intervals, starting at 10 seconds, working up to 30 seconds, then to 1 minute, 10 minutes, and on up to one day, one week, etc.

As Dr. Pimsleur found, this graduated interval recall allows people to remember information and more successfully move this information from short-term memory into long-term memory. This was particularly true, Dr. Pimsleur discovered, when the new information is being used in context with material that you already know.

Dr. Pimsleur is also known for another technique, which calls for learners to focus more intently on the most important words in the language they are trying to learn – those which are most often used, many of which include verbs, more common conversational words and phrases, etc.

By combining the techniques, Dr. Pimsleur created what is arguably one of the most effective systems for learning any new language.

Additionally, By first ensuring you understand the “fundamentals” of a language are understood, Dr. Pimsleur proved, comprehension can be achieved in a shorter time frame and with much greater success rates, which is the foundation for his language courses.
