The Best Way to Learn Mexican Spanish
The Pimsleur Method utilizes a scientifically proven approach, first developed by language education pioneer Paul Pimsleur (1927-1976). In order to effectively learn to speak Spanish, it helps to start with a core batch of key words and phrases to build your vocabulary.
To speak like a native, we’ve discovered the best way to acquire Latin American Spanish, like any other language, is through listening. Hearing Spanish words and phrases with the correct pronunciation enhances memory and learning retention, just like a child learns a new language.
As you’re listening to learn, you can take your Mexican Spanish lessons anytime – and anywhere! Learn Spanish online while walking the dog, doing chores around the house, or while running errands. Whether you’re at home or on the go, it’s always an ideal time to learn Spanish – and Pimsleur provides all the resources to make it happen.
From there, steady progress with Pimsleur eventually leads to a high-level grasp of the Spanish language, to the point where you can speak clearly. This includes enhanced development with the language to speak with the cadence, speed, and even accent of native Latin American Spanish speakers.

Speak Spanish (Latin American) with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Spanish (Latin American). He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Spanish (Latin American) language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
