Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. Here are a few of his “secrets”:<br><br><i>The Principle of Anticipation</i><br>In the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind.<br><br><i>Core Vocabulary</i><br>Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. We don’t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson.<br><br><i>Graduated Interval Recall</i><br>Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.<br><br><i>Organic Learning</i><b
