Product Description
Pimsleur has been a recognized name in language training for decades. Now Audiofy audiobook chip editions of Pimsleur's "English as a Second Language" courses shrink the traditional binder of a dozen cassettes or CDs into a tiny memory card - yielding an affordable, durable, more portable product. Each Audiofy audiobook chip, 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).Created for adult learners, the English for German speakers program offers 30 half-hour lessons emphasizing good pronunciation, common courtesy and fundamental vocabulary for travel needs and helpful interaction with native speakers. While Pimsleur courses focus on speaking rather than reading or writing, a small booklet of optional reading material offers practice recognizing and pronouncing common words.This Audiofy audiobook chip edition can be played on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh desktop computers or laptops (Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98, or Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above) using an SD memory card slot or adapter, like those for digital cameras. Audiobook chips also move seamlessly to most Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld PDAs with SD expansion slots, as well as Treo and Windows Mobile "smartphones" (Palm OS 5.2 or Windows Mobile 2002 and above).Audiofy audiobook chips avoid the lengthy downloading or "syncing" of other digital formats. Audiofy audiobook chips offer "no look" navigation, announcing your listening position with two button clicks and letting you jump to other lessons in seconds. It's also ideal for anyone hindered by the small displays on some devices. Since university linguist Dr. Paul Pimsleur designed courses that are almost entirely audio-based, they are suitable for traveling, commuting or exercising. With Audiofy audiobook chips, this proven technique is now more convenient than ever. ... Read more
