Pimsleur Japanese - I Was Skeptical
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Travis_Colter]Travis Colter

I was skeptical when my 16 year old grandson said he wanted to learn to speak Japanese using the Pimsleur Method. The Japanese language with all its characters and different sounds is a hard language for anyone to learn, let alone a 16 year old, teenage boy. My grandson had made the choice to not learn a new language in school and now he wanted to learn Japanese? Yes, I was skeptical. When I was in college, I dropped a Spanish class after a week. So, from my perspective, if I was not motivated in college to learn a relatively easy language like Spanish what was the likelihood of my grandson learning to speak a more complex language like Japanese?

Because he was so adamant about learning the Japanese language, I decided to give him a Pimsleur Japanese Basic course. I was certain that after a couple of lessons he would quickly lose interest. Better yet, I would see if he was really serious and have him pay for the course. It was only about $20.

I was in for a surprise. Three months later, at a family gathering, he said, "Grandpa, I need to buy some more of those Pimsleur Japanese lessons."

Apparently he was enjoying the ease of the Pimsleur Method and had completed the 10 lessons he had purchased and was ready to learn more of the Japanese language. He told me he was interested in Japanese Anime (graphic cartoons) and had developed an interest and motivation to learn Japanese from watching those foreign language cartoons. He said, "With the Pimsleur Japanese language CDs it's easy to learn to speak and understand Japanese."

My grandson had discovered what I already knew...that the Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Japanese structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Japanese can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.

Motivation and desire make a difference when learning a foreign language. A teenager may find motivation from watching foreign language cartoons. You may want to make traveling more enjoyable or enhance your knowledge about other countries. You may work with people of diverse nationalities.

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn a foreign language, The Pimsleur Method will enable you to gain real conversational skills in a new language quickly and easily.
