5.0 out of 5 stars great program, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Michel Thomas Speak French Advanced: 5-CD Advanced Program (Audio CD)

i began studying german and french through the pimsleur system. this is a great way to introduce yourself with how to pronounce the different sounds of the languages and build up a decent vocabulary. after completing both courses i found myself looking for more. college classes were slow and very time consuming and other programs (living language and the berlitz methods) would only mention a word or phrase and move on. the michel thomas method broke down what i had learned in pimsleur and made me fully understand what it was i had mearly memorized. that is not at all a knock on pimsleur. both are great programs and i would highly recommend. if you are a little short on time, however, i might just pick up the michel thomas program. he gets right to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original!, May 19, 2007

This review is from: Michel Thomas Speak French Advanced: 5-CD Advanced Program (Audio CD)

These CDs are great and much better than the original (introductory) series of 8 CDs. The two students are easier to understand and Michel has a much friendlier demeanor. This course is also very challenging. I listened to each CD several times before moving on to the next CD. I highly recommend the set. (I also purchased the 2 CD refresher set. It's fast paced and works well.)

This is an excellent way to learn a language. I have a home in France, but none of my neighbours speak English - or very little. I found this an easy way to learn some French so as to be able to communicate with them and integrate into the community. By listening and joining in with the students on the discs you feel you are learning good conversational skills. I would recommend very highly.
