Michel Thomas Spanish Advanced Language Course CD
Click to Enlarge
This recording follows on from the Foundation (8-hour) all-audio course which took the language-learning world by storm. With no books, no memorising and no homework, Michel Thomas 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 teaches what it takes years to cover by conventional methods, giving his students a comprehensive working knowledge of the language - all the tenses are taught and practised; the position of pronouns is made easy, and Michel spends some time on the problems of translation, instilling in the students 'an enhanced awareness of their own language'. And he does all this effortlessly, 'effectively and easily' (Daily Star).

By the end of the Advanced course Michel has covered ALL the structures and tenses of 'A' level and beyond. Grammar points and tenses only touched upon in the Foundation (8-hour) course are expanded to give the student a complete knowledge of the structure of the entire language. He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and Italian and gives his students the tools to guess the words they do not know, or think they do not know.

Join two students as they learn in real time. Become the third member of the class and experience the excitement of learning a language as if by magic!

This new edition has one, very significant, new feature - an additional Review CD. All the main teaching points have been lifted from the 5-hour Advanced course and are contained on this one CD. The student 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. It can also be used very successfully by those coming back to the course after a lapse of time, either to check how much they have retained or as a quick revision tool. Only Michel's words and phrases are on the new CD, so the course is summarised succinctly and with a new, snappy pace. Finally, the new edition is repackaged, with an up-to-the minute cover treatment and robust DVD-type cases inside a rigid card slip case, to ensure that the CDs remain damage-free and are easy to access and use.

Best Spanish Lessons yet  
After spending years learning spanish on and off, i finally discovered the michel thomas series. I started with the foundation course and then moved on to the advanced. All i can say is that i am now pretty well fluent in spanish and it took less than a month. It was also really easy which pleased me very much. I intend also getting the language builder etc before i have a bash at chinese next.
Fantastic guide to the structure of grammar!  
Michel Thomas is an excellent teacher of foreign languages - and this set of CDs does just what it says on the box - it advances your grasp and comprehension of the Spanish language - so why only 4 stars? Why not 5?

Well, I'm afraid I really dislike the idea of following the learning progress with fellow learners who make very silly mistakes (In this set - particularly the female student!), and have to be corrected by Michel on the CD!!! It's just like being in class with those who really SHOULDN'T be in that group!!! Aaagh!!! It's supposed to be an advanced course - and I have to say that I would really rather hear
native speakers pronouncing everything the way that it should be pronounced than hearing learners struggling and overemphasising certain syllables in their attempt to PUUUSH the stressed syllable!!!

Having said that, I have to say that I recently bought this set of CDs for use in the car and to enhance my Spanish skills - and am really glad that I did! Although Michel Thomas hated to use the word 'grammar' - this is a comprehensive guide to grammatical tenses and to the grammatical structure of the Spanish language - which is exactly what I needed!

Michel Thomas breaks down the various tenses in a way that is easy to master, to learn and to use - providing plenty of practice along the way. Having 'jumped' a year in my Spanish learning, I missed any real introduction to the most common Spanish past tense - the preterit - and have always struggled with it - but, after completing the second CD, I'm really beginning to feel that I am finally grasping it! Hooray!!!

I am also beginning to understand the subjunctive, the future and the future conditional - and I have only gone through the first 2 CDs - so am hopeful for the rest!!!
Michel Thomas Advanced Course: Spanish  
Totally disappointing. Well, I have a different idea of "advanced Spanish". The whole CD is built of 2-3 min bits of michel thomas talking . It takes 2.5 min for him to explain how is "put it down " and "do it". Really annoying, slow talk. Advanced language is not couple of useful phrases put together.
I have wasted my money on this one.
All in all a very valuable tool!!  
Having been a new student to learning spanish i have found michel Thamos an inspiration to developing an understanding of the structure of the spanish language.
Used in conjunction with other audio courses, i find a lot of his teaching useful in working out how the spanish language is built.
I feel that this course needs to have a follow up in the same context to reinforce developed ideas,that may have been only slightly addressed,ie the subjunctive(present and past).
At present i am using the pimsleur language course as i find this has native speakers and is more in tune with the correct pronuncuation.
I am afraid michel with his strong german background accent seems to taint the pronunciation somewhat.
All in all a very valuable tool in the persuit of my spanish studies.
If any one can recommend further courses of similar nature please let me know.
The man is a genius!   
I have wanted to learn spanish for a number of years, and tried a number of other products before discovering the Michel Thomas series. I enjoyed the Spanish foundation course and,having completed that, moved swiftly on to the Advanced Course.

The students in this course are clearly more advanced and the pace is appropriate. Michel explains everything in a very clear way as usual and covers the ground very well. I cannot fault this series in any way and now feel ready to return to Spain with more confidence in my language abilities.

Definitely a "must buy" - I only wish there was another course to go onto after this one!
