Advantages: methodology, lack of materials needed

Disadvantages: students can be annoying, michel smacking his lips alot

This course is fantastic, it is presented by world famous language teacher Michel Thomas. The difference between this and other language courses is that you simply do not learn by repeating what is said. Incredibily, as simple grammar and vocabularly are introduced you teach your self. The set up is this: Michel Thomas teaches to two students, in this foundation french course the woman is quite annoying as she is pretty dumb. However, after explaing a principle of giving a few words, you are asked to pause the cd and produce the sentence in french asked for in English by Michel. Then you press play and the students have a go themselves with Michel finally giving the correct version of the sentence. Some people complain that Michel is not a naitive speaker or that he mumbles or that the students are annoying. To varying degrees all of these things are correct but it does not take away from the fact that overall the course is incredible. If you were someone who did French at school and never got further than please and thank you, you will learn more French in these 8 hours and have a complete understanding of what your saying than years worth of class room study. Brilliant.

Summary: aazing course for anyone wanting to learn french
