Speak French With Michel Thomas

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful for conversational French
Review: I wanted to learn enough practical French to negotiate my way around Paris for a week. Thomas' method worked amazingly well as he spends less time on the situational phrases ("At the Airport", "At the Hotel") that most language courses seem to focus on, and more on general vocabulary and structures that were easily adapted to any situation. I didn't expect to be fluent (and I wasn't) but I could be understood and I could generally understand what was being said to me. The female student that he used was truly irritating, but apart from that, I cannot recommend the 8 CD set highly enough.

Summary: you must be joking
Review: What a wierd teaching method. I wanted to brush up on my French for a trip and this CD, while I suppose it helped with pronunciation, was all about "la situation economique et politique." Given the world situation at the moment that was...er...on point, but a bit to erudite for my purposes. Or for anyone's I would think unless you're an academic.

Summary: It makes sense....
Review: yes, French does make sense. At least now that someone has pointed out what others have not. Mr. Thomas teaches that French isn't as "foreign" as it seems. Words that we hear everyday in English are the same words in French. It's all in how you say it (and spell it). Words (mainly the verbs) that I had a hard time understanding, now make sense. I do recommend this CD set if you want to try to parlez en francais. I am going to buy the deluxe set. I just wish that he had a set that could take me to an intermediate-advance level.
