Pimsleur puts you in the driver’s seat (that’s asiento del conductor in Latin American Spanish) on your journey to learn one of the world’s most widely spoken languages. The majority of Pimsleur users can easily acquire Spanish as their second (or even third) language in their spare time; thanks to our easy-to-use app, you’re able to take Spanish lessons whenever it’s convenient.

The most prevalent language throughout the majority of Central American and South America, Latin American Spanish is spoken in most Latin American nations. It’s the official language of dozens of countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, to name a few. Worldwide, only three other languages are more common: English, Mandarin Chinese, and Hindi. Mexican Spanish is also one of a half-dozen official languages used by the United Nations. Pimsleur's Spanish courses use practical, easily applicable methods – with lessons taught by only native Latin American Spanish speakers – to help you quickly get up to speed with your grasp of Spanish.

The reasons for taking Spanish lessons differ from person to person. Your particular “why” is unique. But whatever reason you have for learning to speak Spanish, there are many benefits:

• Gain a better understanding of the different cultures in Central and South America.
• Enjoy casual or business conversations with native Mexican Spanish speakers.
• Travel with confidence, knowing you’re able to converse with anyone.
• Experience endless unique locales as only a native Latin American Spanish speaker can.
• And more! From Panama to Paraguay and Colombia to Costa Rica, there’s simply no better way to learn how to speak Latin American Spanish than with Pimsleur leading the way!

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 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.
