Pimsleur Armenian Eastern

Pimsleur Armenian Eastern (Digital Audiobook) [UNABRIDGED]

Pimsleur has been a recognized name in language training for decades, and updated Bookchip editions of the flagship Pimsleur series have shrunk the traditional binder of a dozen cassettes or CDs into a tiny memory card — yielding an affordable, durable, more portable product. Each Bookchip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds an unabridged course with 15 hours or more of digital audio, and saves the last listening position automatically (unlike CDs). The Pimsleur Armenian Eastern Compact — Armenian course offers 10 half-hour lessons, designed to help the listener enter an low level of spoken proficiency on the ACTFL^* scale. These lessons emphasize concrete topics applicable to routine social conversation and limited work demands, and reinforce proper usage of past, present and future tense. This Bookchip edition can be played on a Microsoft Windows PC or laptop (Windows 98, 2000 or XP) with an SD memory card slot (typically used for digital cameras), and moves seamlessly to Palm PDAs, Treos, and Windows Mobile handhelds and mobile phones with SD slots (Pocket PC 2003 or later). Bookchips avoid the lengthy downloading or "syncing" of other digital formats. Consider the lightweight, low-cost, battery-operated Audiofy Player, available separately or bundled, to eliminate any need for a computer (or computer skills!). Bookchips offer "no look" navigation, announcing your listening position with two button clicks and letting you jump to other lessons in seconds. Not only convenient, it's ideal for anyone hindered by the hard-to-read displays on some devices. Since university linguist Dr. Paul Pimsleur designed courses that are almost entirely audio-based, they are suitable for practice while traveling, commuting or exercising. Each Armenian lesson reinforces prior lessons, using Pimsleur's approach of progressive "Graduated Interval Recall" without rote memorization or drills.
