5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, September 7, 2001

This review is from: Speak French With Michel Thomas: The Language Teacher to the Stars! (2-CD Edition) (French Edition) (English and French Edition) (Audio CD)

First, get the 8 disc set because its worth it. This is the easiest way to learn a language ever. Though I see some reviewers were irritated by the "slow learner" on the tape, I found myself comforted by the fact that I was better than she was (though I admit that I was less adept than the male student). I've listened to Pimsleur and other tapes and the Michel Thomas approach is the best. But the two disc set is just the warmup. So, go for the full set.

This is a unique method of learning to speak French; very logical and user friendly. You are asked to become the third member of a class learning a new language without memorization or homework. It's actually enjoyable and it works.

This review is from: Speak French With Michel Thomas: The Language Teacher to the Stars! (2-CD Edition) (French Edition) (English and French Edition) (Audio CD)

While planning a trip to France, I worried that my broken high-school French would not be up to the task. I got these CDs and they have been wonderful. My husband, who never took French before, is picking it up as quickly as I am. I agree with anderdog that I perhaps should have gotten the 8 CD set, but I couldn't bring myself to do that right off, not knowing whether I would like the method. But, it's great, so I think I'll get them. I very much disagree with the person who said the method is over rated because there are no drills. Drills are one of the main reasons that I hated French in high school! I love that this method allows me to speak in full sentences without drilling. Also, the "trick" of pointing out the similarities between French and English helps to demystify the language so that students don't feel so uptight about it. This is a very relaxing, almost effortless way to pick up the language.
