The Michel Thomas Method: How it Works

No books. No writing. No memorising. Just confidence – fast.

The Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct a language for yourself – to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Because you learn the language in small steps, you can build it up yourself to produce ever more complicated sentences.

You will listen, absorb, then speak. It simply works like magic. Try a free audio sample at www.michelthomas.co.uk. This Method is "in tune" with the way your brain works, so you assimilate it easily and dont forget it!

Stress-free, All-Audio Learning

Michel Thomas teaches you through your own language, so theres no stress, and no anxiety. He builds it up, step by step, and you dont move on until youve absorbed and understood the previous point. And, as Michel Thomas said, "What you understand, you know; and what you know, you dont forget." With parallels to the way you learnt your own language, each language is learnt in "real-time" conditions. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorisation.

A "Virtual" Classroom

The classroom situation on the recording lets you learn with others. You enjoy their success, and you learn from their mistakes. The students on the recordings are not reading from scripts and they have received no additional instruction or preparation – just the guidance you hear on the recording. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class.

Theres No Such Thing as a Poor Student, Only a Poor Teacher.

This is a very important part of the Michel Thomas Method. Full responsibility for your learning lies with the teacher, not with you, the pupil. This helps to ensure that you can relax, and feel confident, so allowing you to learn effectively.
