 Michel Thomas Method: Arabic Foundation Language Course CD
Learn another language the way you learnt your own. You learnt your own language naturally and enjoyably: now you can learn Arabic in the same way. There's no books and no writing, and you will achieve confidence - in hours. With the "Michel Thomas Method" you learn the language in small steps, building it up yourself to produce ever more complicated sentences. The Method works as it breaks down the language into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. On the recording you will hear two students being taught in real time and in a classroom situation, so you are learning with others. You enjoy their success and learn from their mistakes. You, as learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class. In a very short time you will be able to manipulate Arabic structures to express what you want to say.It uses the unique method perfected over fifty years by the celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. The Method works with your brain, helping you to build up your Arabic in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out the answers for yourself. You learn through listening and speaking - the way you learnt your own language. You pick up the language naturally and unforgettably. On these recordings experienced teacher Jane Wightwick is assisted by native Egyptian Arabic speaker Mahmoud Gaafar. These all-audio courses are accompanied by an index, where the Arabic words are printed in Roman script and translated, for easy reference. This "8-hour Arabic Foundation Course" is one of the "Michel Thomas Method Mandarin" courses published by Hodder Arnold, the others being the "5-hour Advanced Course", the "2-hour Foundation Review", the "1-hour Advanced Review" and the "2-hour Introductory Course", which comprises the first 2 hours of the "Foundation Course".

 Michel Thomas Italian Language Builder CD
Michel Thomas took the language-learning world by storm. With no books, no memorising and no homework, Michel teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using the method he perfected over 50 years, he shares his secret with the world - and 'makes it simple' (Sunday Times). In only a matter of hours, he gives you a comprehensive grasp of the structure of the language, enabling you to communicate with confidence. The present, future, conditional and past tenses are covered, and you are taught to think about the ideas that you are trying to communicate, rather than to translate words slavishly. He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and Italian and gives you the tools to guess the words you do not know, or think you do not know. In the 'Language Builders' Michel consolidates and expands your knowledge of structures and vocabulary in a one-on-one lecture session with you at home.

 Michel Thomas Spanish Advanced Review Language Course CD
Michel Thomas materials have been phenomenally successful since they were first published some six years ago. The brand new Review courses are a major new offering. For the first time, the student can quickly and easily review the entire teaching contents of the main course, to establish which areas need to be revisited or to consolidate learning. The Reviews can be used in many ways: when the student reaches the end of the main course to check or consolidate learning; as a quick refresher when the student returns to the main course after a lapse of time; for the newcomer to Michel Thomas looking for an overview of what the main courses contain.

All the main teaching points have been lifted from the corresponding Advanced course and are contained on just 1 CD. The student at home hears Michel teaching a specific point, there is a pause which allows time for the student to give his/her response to Michel's prompt, followed by Michel giving the correct response. If the student has struggled or given an incorrect answer, she can use the index in the accompanying booklet to locate the area of the main course where the specific language point was being taught in depth and can return to the main course to work through the relevant section again, quickly and efficiently. Only Michel's words and phrases are on the new CD, so the course is summarised succinctly and with a new, snappy pace.
