Informationen zum Autor Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world's leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called "Graduated Interval Recall." This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs. Klappentext Comprehensive Hebrew II includes 30 additional lessons (16 hrs.), plus Readings, which build upon the language skills acquired in Level I. Increased spoken and reading language ability. Level II will double your vocabulary and grammatical structures while increasing your spoken proficiency exponentially. Upon completion of a Level II, you will be able to: * engage in fuller conversations involving yourself, your family, daily activities, interests and personal preferences, * combine known elements into increasingly longer sentences and strings of sentences, * create with language and function in informal situations, * deal with concrete topics in the past, present, and future, * meet social demands and limited job requirements, * begin reading for meaning. "Note: In order for the Pimsleur Method to work correctly, you must first complete the Level I language program before proceeding to the Level II language program."
