What Youâ€™ll Learn
Builds upon skills taught in Pimsleurâ€™s English for Spanish Speakers Level 1.

In the first 10 lessons youâ€™ll begin using the past tense. Structures become more complex and informal speech is introduced. Soon youâ€™ll take part in conversations about ordering meals, shopping, and local attractions. As you progress, your fluency will increase as your vocabulary expands.

The next 10 lessons will allow you to further combine and build upon known elements, and produce longer and more complex sentences. Youâ€™ll be discussing business and social activities, expressing your interests, and talking about the weather.

In the final 10 lessons youâ€™ll double your vocabulary and have several hundred structures to draw upon. Youâ€™ll learn to express yourself with relative structures â€“ faster, slower, etc. Youâ€™ll be able to ask for assistance in many situations and to ask for directions to various locations. Youâ€™ll explore sports and leisure activities, manage changing money and banking, and discuss travel plans. By the end of the program, youâ€™ll be speaking at a mid-intermediate level with near-native pronunciation, and youâ€™ll be comfortable meeting most social demands and limited job requirements.

Reading Lessons, which build upon the language skills acquired in Level 1, are included beginning in Lesson 9. These lessons, which total about one hour, are designed to give you practice reading English. A Reading Booklet to be used with the audio lessons is also included in PDF format.

The Pimsleur Method
We make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. 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 â€œsecretsâ€:

The Principle of Anticipation
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.

Core Vocabulary
Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. We donâ€™t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson.

Graduated Interval Recall
Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.

Organic Learning
You work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. We integrate grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation into every lesson, which allows you to experience the language as a living, expressive form of human culture.

Learning in Context
Research has shown that learning new words in context dramatically accelerates your ability to remember. Every scene in every Pimsleur lesson is set inside a conversation between two people. There are no drills, and no memorization necessary for success.

Active Participation
The Pimsleur Method + active learner participation = success. This method works with every language and every learner who follows it. You gain the power to recall and use what you know, and to add new words easily, exactly as you do in Spanish.

The English Language
Approximately 375 million people speak English around the world and there are more than 50 countries where English is the primary language spoken, including in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This course teaches Standard American English as spoken in the US. Instruction is in Spanish.

Tech Talk
