Summary: A light bulb went off!
Comment: After taking an adult course in French at the Walt Disney Studios and studying 52 lessons on tape with another series, I still didn't grasp the concept of French like Michel Thomas explains.
He uses mnemonic devices to help you remember words such as explaining where the root of the word originated. He also explains guidelines to go by and you can apply these rules 100% to other sentences. A light bulb went off for me when I understood the concepts. I've never been good at English grammar but have a very clear understanding of French sentence structure and how the verb conjugation works now...and he makes it easy and fun to learn!! You want to listen to more. I wish he had intermediate and advanced courses. I'd buy them in a second.
After listening to 2 CDs in French, I immediately ordered the German ones as well. It helps if people have had a course in pronunciation first before buying the CDs.
The only drawbacks are that the female student is REALLY annoying...she sounds like she smokes about 5 packs of cigs a day and has lost a huge amount of brain cells because of it....Also, he doesn't get into the past and future tense as much as I would have liked....BUT the program is so good and so worth it, you can overlook this after awhile.
Thank you Michel!! You saved me!!!

Summary: on peut apprendre a parler français très vite avec Michel Th
Comment: I better learn a foreign language by writing or reading than by listening to a CD, or 8 CD's in this case. Normally it can be difficult to retain information just by hearing, and sometimes it could be frustrating. But since I bought this set of 8 CD's and listened to it anywhere, at home, in the car, I must say that it is a really funny, entertaining, dynamic way to learn, and can introduce you quickly to this language by building basic sentences, learning their logic, and comparing the big similarities between french and english. On these recordings Michel Thomas encourages you together with two students in a very funny but didactic way, to think, or to guess how a word or even a sentence in french can be, just by knowing its counterpart in english. I Speak a little english and german, and I must say that I never found a course so practical and fast, while easy to retain like this. Congratulation Monsieur Thomas, et 5 etoiles.

Summary: I usually suck at learning languages...
Comment: But this CD was remarkable. I was actually able to make sentences and use them after the first listen! Initially I purchased the 2 CD set and listened to them a few times. Two weeks later, I was in Paris, asking for things at Restaurants in actual French! I couldn't believe it. My sister met me there, and kept saying "when did you learn to speak French?" (The only problem was that they started to answer me in French and I got a little nervous...but I still could pick out some words). My confidence level increased tremendously with this lesson.
One of the things that kept me going with Mr. Thomas was that it's pretty fun (as far as learning a language goes.) Yes, the girl in the tape is really annoying, but I laughed out loud when she got scolded a couple of times. I kept listening because I thought she might make another mistake...
