Summary: An ok crash course for travellers; bad for serious learners
Review: From my experience of learning English as a second language, I have to say this is a very bad way to learn a new language. Have you met foreigners who spoke broken English? You might just become the guy who speaks bad French by learning it this way. Yes it's so much better to be able to communicate than not, even with a broken language. But if you are serious about learning French, check out "Pimsleur" and "French in Action".

Summary: you must be joking
Review: I am terrible at learning languages. I bought everything I could find and was working hard at learning French. I was picking up a few words here and there but really getting nowhere.
Then I listened to Michel Thomas 2 CD pack. Ugh, his voice made me nuts...BUT I kept listening to it..and lo and behold started learning French. I am so amazed at how much I learned (so fast..after struggling and struggling before) that I am ordering the 8 cd pack....and can't wait for it to arrive. In spite of his weird voice, he is a great teacher...he explains it in a way that you can remember it and he SIMPLIFIES it. Now, I will worry about reading and writing it later.... :-) Just being able to speak it is such a relief...and I think over time...I will be able to read it and write it.

Summary: His method worked for me!
Review: I bought Michel Thomas' "Speak Italian" two years ago. I knew not a word of Italian and was amazed that I was putting together fairly complicated sentences within a half hour. I'm going to France and wanted to brush up on my French, so bought the 2-CD set.... I didn't realize how much I knew. If you have studied French, I would advise buying the extended course. This one was a bit too easy for me, but it was still very helpful. His method of teaching really works. The only drawback is that the woman on the CD is extremely irritating.

Summary: Learn at Ease
Review: I have never found learning a new language so much fun! I admit the woman on the recording can be a little annoying, I keep screaming at my computer hoping she would get the right answer faster, but Michel Thomas does make speaking French so much easier - you learn it at such ease, and after the first CD recording, I found myself smiling feeling such a sense of accomplishment. I strongly recommend Michel Thomas' teaching method recordings. You will be addicted to learning with Michel, and the next thing you know, you are speaking French! I say - absolutely worth it!

Review: I have studied languages throughout my life. This is the best language learning system I have ever come in contact with. I would recommend it for anyone who would like to learn a language and have the confidence to use it with native speakers.

Summary: Very Good .. But leaves you hanging
Review: I just finished the two set CD of Speak French with Michel Thomas. Though the CDs were extremely good, very interesting and informative, i was not sure what i had learnt and how and where do i apply my skills. I did not even know how to ask any one "What is your name ?". There were quite a few basic things that should have been taught which would have helped me atleast start a conversation in french with a complete stranger.
But all said, if you want to understand the language in a manner whiich is fun and easy, go for this. That is why i am going for the full set to check out if anything comes out of it.
