5.0 out of 5 stars I usually suck at learning languages..., April 6 2004
By 
L. Kline "spaceman03" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars TRES BON!!!, Mar 6 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: French with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
Last month I purchased the 2 CD set of French by Michel Thomas and, like other self taught languages I have tried, I was a little leary about this one being any different, but I was happily surprised to be speaking basic sentences so easily! (and so fast)! I did so well with the 2-CD set, that I ordered the 8-CD set!

But, like another reviewer, I too found the female student to be "tres" annoying. It was like she couldn't retain anything that she had just learned. I didn't know if she was acting stupid on purpose or if it was to get the listener to participate more by almost shouting back the answers. Valuable time is wasted on correcting her responses.

Also...
If anyone out there can help me with the "ground rule" of "you're trying to remember...please don't"... I would really appreciate it. How do you learn anything if you don't try to remember? Help me to understand what Mr. Thomas means. Merci!

Overall, I am so pleased with this series that I ordered the set of Spanish CD's, too!

Buy the Michel Thomas' languages on CD... no one will be disapointed!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great in many respects except for...., May 21 2004
By 
Edwin S. Gleaves (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
At first I was put off by the informality of Thomas's conversation with his two students, but I stayed with the entire series (more than once) and came to appreciate Thomas's teaching style. He is at his best with his memory devices, especially associating the French vocabulary with certain English words, without relying too heavily upon tricky cognates. His explanations of French grammatical construction are both helpful and interesting for those of us who want to know why something is said this way or that.

What is missing? Listening. Virtually every exercise begins with "How do you say...." and never "Listen to this..." Thus the student or traveler would do well to supplement his/her study of French with a language program that puts as much emphasis on understanding as speaking.
