Pimsleur Gojapanese Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-8 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Japanese with Pimsleur Language Programs [With Book(s) and MP3]Compact Disc, 4 May 2010

**The Pimsleur(R) Method teaches speaking and understanding right from the start
**
For almost 50 years, in over 50 languages, the Pimsleur(R) Method has been recognized by experts worldwide as one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn to speak another language. With Pimsleur you will learn Japanese in the same way you learned your first language as a child, acquiring the vocabulary of the new language, along with the melody, rhythm, and intonation of Japanese as used in everyday conversation.

**The Science of Memory
**
Dr. Paul Pimsleur's research on memory was one of his most significant achievements: he discovered that if reminded of new words and information at gradually increasing intervals of time (Graduated Interval Recall(TM)), the learners would remember words or information for increasingly longer periods. Dr. Pimsleur documented that the acquisitions would actually move from short-term into long-term, or permanent, memory.

**Culture Notes
**
Just as The Pimsleur Method teaches you to speak with native-like fluency, Pimsleur's Culture Notes take you instantly to the heart of the language, providing cultural insights from a native's point of view.
