Flexible Learning with All Talk and Pimsleur

You probably already know that Pimsleur offers flexible learning. Like Pimsleur, the Linguaphone All Talk Acquisition Course offers you a world of flexibility. You have the full flexibility of making the world your classroom! You aren't tied to a computer or workbook like many language courses today. With the all-audio structure of the All Talk Acquisition course, you are able to acquire a new language almost effortlessly while you do many other activities. You can learn a new language in your car, on the bus or train, while taking a morning walk, while resting on the couch or bed, or while jogging, or...well, you get the picture. Few products offer the flexibility that both the Linguaphone All Talk Acquisition course and Pimsleur courses offer - and that's priceless!

Another flexible aspect of the Linguaphone All Talk Acquisition course is the flexibility of learning. With 30-60 individual tracks on each CD, you have complete control over your speed of learning. With the All Talk Acquisition course, you can choose how quickly you progress through the course. If you feel you need more training in a certain area, you have the flexibility of quickly repeating specific instruction without having to repeat the entire course. As you progress, you will find that having control over your learning is valuable and helpful.

All Talk Offers More of What You Love

The All Talk Acquisition course offers you more of what you're looking for - high quality language instruction. As you complete each comprehensive level of Pimsleur you will learn approximately 500 words of vocabulary per level. With the All Talk Acquisition course, you are able to gain an estimated 1000 additional words of vocabulary. Imagine what you can do with that!

Many Pimsleur customers finish the Pimsleur courses and ask "what next"? Unfortunately, your choices are few. There are few, if any, all-audio courses on the market today that will teach the language to such a high level of proficiency like Linguaphone and Pimsleur provide. Fortunately, we are pleased to offer the All Talk Acquisition course to help you continue your already-solid training that you've received from Pimsleur.

A Different Approach = Better Training

Language experts always say that the best way to learn a new language is to speak to many different people and study from as many different sources as possible. This offers a more-well-rounded approach to your language learning. By integrating the Linguaphone All Talk Acquisition course into your Pimsleur studies, you are allowing your mind to become more flexible in the learning process. You are hearing different accents, explanations, speakers, and topics. When you combine the powerful training of Linguaphone with the effective training of Pimsleur, you simply can't go wrong!

Did you ever become frustrated because Pimsleur didn't have written materials for you to visually see what you were learning? The Linguaphone All Talk Acquisition course includes a vocabulary booklet that has all of the words you learn in the course. This is very helpful in remembering and reviewing what you've learned. You'll never feel lost with the All Talk Acquisition course.

Does the All Talk Acquisition Course pick up where Pimsleur leaves off?

No. The All Talk Acquisition course is a separate course that we believe greatly complements the learning already established through the use of the Pimsleur Courses. The All Talk Acquisition course starts off at a beginners level, but rapidly progresses through intermediate and advanced levels of speaking. You will learn large amounts of vocabulary and additional grammatical instruction throughout the course.

Another difference is that the All Talk Acquisition course follows a storyline format. It's kind of like listening to a TV show. You listen to a plot and also learn a new language. This is one of the great ways that Linguaphone is so effective. The course keeps you entertained by the story while teaching you the language.

Is the All Talk Acquisition Course a beginner's course?

Yes and no. It can be used by beginners as well as seasoned veterans. The course begins at a starting level, but progresses quite quickly. If you're just starting out with learning the language, you'll probably need to repeat much of the lessons initially whereas if you already have some experience, you will probably progress quicker through the initial lessons and then find that you'll be repeating more as you progress.

Is the All Talk Acquisition Course just like Pimsleur but with different vocabulary?

No. The courses are made by two different companies - Pimsleur and Linguaphone. The methodology of Linguaphone varies slightly from Pimsleur, but proves to be very helpful in allowing you to have a better overall learning experience through the use of multiple angles of learning the language. The Pimsleur lessons generally play a conversation and then you learn the words and phrases that will enable you to take part in the conversation. Linguaphone also does this, but the conversations that you listen to are part of a bigger plot and storyline.

How many lessons/hours is the All Talk Acquisition course?

With the exception of Chinese Mandarin, the course is 16 hours long. There are 16 lessons each lasting about 1 hour. The lessons, unlike Pimsleur, are broken up into between 30-60 tracks per lesson on the CD (anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes per track) so that you can easily repeat certain segments.

The Chinese Mandarin Course is 8 hours long, with 8 Lessons that are each 1 hour.

What is included in the course?

For French, German, Italian, and Spanish the course includes:

16 Digitally Recorded CDs
CD Carrying Wallet
1 Large Vocabulary Booklet
1 250-Page Pocket Phrasebook/Dictionary

For Chinese Mandarin the course includes:

8 Digitally Recorded CDs
2 Carrying Cases
2 Small Vocabulary Booklets
1 250-Page Pocket Phrasebook/Dictionary
