The Pimsleur method works entirely through listening. The listener recalls and constructs phrases from memory, rather than repeating what they hear. The lessons are 30 minutes long and designed to be repeated until the student attains 70-80% comprehension, at which point he or she may move on to the next lesson. As the lessons repeat themselves and add new material, it is not necessary for the student to master each lesson perfectly before moving on to the next lesson. The learner is tested and retested on new material at varying intervals throughout the course to reinforce memory.
