Founded in 2000, Pimsleur Approach is a leader in audio-based language learning courses. The Pimsleur language learning system was developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, a specialist in the field of applied linguistics, and features over 40 different languages. Developed with over 40 years of research, Pimsleur courses are based upon a set of specific scientific principles that are aimed to teach the conversational aspects of a language at a rapid pace. The main goal of each Pimsleur course is to have the user to start speaking a new language in a very short amount of time.
