About this product

Product Information

This recording follows on from the Foundation (8-hour) all-audio course which took the language-learning world by storm. With no books, no memorising and no homework, Michel Thomas teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using the method he perfected over 50 years, he shares his secret with the world - and 'makes it simple' (Sunday Times). In only a matter of hours, he teaches what it takes years to cover by conventional methods, giving his students a comprehensive working knowledge of the language - all the tenses are taught and practised; the position of pronouns is made easy, and Michel spends some time on the problems of translation, instilling in the students 'an enhanced awareness of their own language'. And he does all this effortlessly, 'effectively and easily' (Daily Star). By the end of the Advanced course Michel has covered ALL the structures and tenses of 'A' level and beyond. Grammar points and tenses only touched upon in the Foundation (8-hour) course are expanded to give the student a complete knowledge of the structure of the entire language. He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and French and gives his students the tools to guess the words they do not know, or think they do not know. Join two students as they learn in real time. Become the third member of the class and experience the excitement of learning a language as if by magic! This new edition has one, very significant, new feature - an additional 'Review' CD. All the main teaching points have been lifted from the 5-hour Advanced course and are contained on this one CD. The student hears Michel teaching a specific point, there is a pause which allows time for the student to give his/her response to Michel's prompt, followed by Michel giving the correct response. If the student has struggled or given an incorrect answer, s/he can use the index in the accompanying booklet to locate the area of the main course where the specific language point was being taught in depth and can return to the main course to work through the relevant section again, quickly and efficiently. It can also be used very successfully by those coming back to the course after a lapse of time, either to check how much they have retained or as a quick revision tool. Only Michel's words and phrases are on the new CD, so the course is summarised succinctly and with a new, snappy pace. Finally, the new edition is repackaged, with an up-to-the minute cover treatment and robust DVD-type cases inside a rigid card slip case, to ensure that the CDs remain damage-free and are easy to access and use.

  • Michel Thomas Excellence

    After many years of learning French with online apps and face to face with a tutor, I began to think I would never reach a level of true fluidity in the language. I’d heard about the Michel Thomas method ,but never paid it much notice. Learning a second language in your fifties isn’t easy, “believe me” there is no silver bullet that gets you fluent in a few months. The MT method is as good as it gets when it comes to learning aids. You still have to put in a lot of work , but the learning process is enjoyable and it’s really good how the phrases you learn seem to stick in your mind. This method helped me break through a barrier which before seemed hard to crack.These CDs are an excellent supplement when added to the other parts of the learning process.

  • Brilliant teaching

    The best language teaching I've known. Michel Thomas was a genius. As a retired teacher of English as a foreign language, I'm familiar with a number of weird theories of language teaching. Michel Thomas wasn't – or at least his work gives no evidence that he was – and his work is all the better for it.
