The Pimsleur method relies on the core principals of language learning to teach you your target language.  The method we'll explore today is called  'organic learning' which simply means that you gradually learn the  language by listening to native speakers who  interact in normal conversation.  You learn grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation all at once using the Pimsleur method..

Before your very first day of school you already knew how to  express yourself. You're not going to school to learn how to talk, your going to school to learn how to read and write. You see organic learning happens naturally with all of us, its how we develop our mother tongue. From day one we begin picking up words and sounds that form our native language. By the time many of us our pre school aged we are conversing like the pros! We can ask questions by putting the proper stresses and inflections in our voices, we can sound surprised,  disappointed, confused and happy. We can express all of these emotions with our voice because we learned it naturally through our parents conversations. 

When you learn with Pimsleur the same methods will be applied. You will be prompted to interact with the program as if someone is actually engaging in a conversation with you. It will be on you to recall how to respond and to use the proper grammar and pronunciation when replying. With the guidance of the instructor and the native speakers, incorporating the other methods such as core vocabulary and anticipation you will have developed a good understanding of what the native speakers are saying because you've already been conditioned to do so organically!
