The Michel Thomas Spanish short course consists of the first two hours of the full course. Though this can provide only a basic foundation to the language, it still enables students to speak sentences from the outset, and to experience the excitement of learning a new language.

The next course which should be attempted after trying this one is the Michel Thomas Spanish Foundation Course CD

Product Reviews
MT Foundation course  
An excellent product to guid you on the path to this language.

One thing to check is that when ordering online, at some point MT released the 1st Foundation course - 8 hrs in gold and green box (does not contain review I think). He also has an introduction course of 2 hrs (a seperate rpoduct again). But THIS version of the foundation course is the combination of the 8 hr foundation plus a two hour review - total 10 hrs, and is the one to go for, as you would end up paying more seperately to put all the parts together.

I have just completed the course and have been able to structure sentences together very quickly, whilst also taking on board present, past and future tenses. It packs a hell of alot into 8 hrs, but that's what makes the MT method so special, and a far departure from the school based method of learning. The method that has worked best for me is to use these CD's whilst in the car, and occasionally on the laptop as you can upload them to itunes (note cheaper to order here from sellers than downloas from itunes direct)


There are of course some gaps in learning all of the Spanish language, but these can be patched. One way is to check out the BBC website which has free uploads on their learning section. MT also recommends reading Spanish press as well.

Overall a remarkable course by someone who knew the psychology of HOW to teach a language, and is very very efficient at doing it.
Michel Thomas's method  
This is certainly the best of the self teach language courses I have come across, but don't be fooled by the usual hype that you will be able to speak the language in only ....... blah, blah blah.

Michel Thomas says at the beginning of this foundation course that you should not try to remember things or write things down. I found this worked up to about the half way point and then found it really useful to make a vocabulary list as more and more new words where introduced. A little later on, I also found it helpful to make notes on the different verb tenses as they were introduced. I could then quickly revise these before settleing down to another session with the CDs.

It is essential not to have too big a gap between each learning session. I tried to do at least one session of about an hour to an hour and a half each day.

Finally, the last two CDs are called a 'review.' they go back over the whole course and I found these really valuable.
good  
Product was received very fast indeed. It is a present for a friend so I haven't used it.
Steves Views  
The CDs I ordered were of good quality,and as I live in Spain the time taken was reasonable. I would buy again using Amazon, the after sales service was very good.
A Happy customer

How language teaching should be done  
I have found this course by chance and although sceptical about all the claims it makes I must say this certainly is the best course available.
I am a complete beginner to Spanish, but having listened to the first CD yesterday for a couple of hours I can create quite a number of sentences already! And what's more I have intuitive understanding of how Spanish grammar works. It probably helps that I am a trained linguist and already speak two foreign languages but when I tried learning Spanish with another course, with basic situations acted out by native speakers, the process seemed daunting as required a lot of research on grammar and language structure.
The approach of the course simply simulates a real one on one class with a teacher, and a very good one indeed, the kind of teacher who can help you make associations with English and makes the learning process very exciting by making you understand how the Spanish language is constructed.
It certainly is a great foundation which will allow you to build on more skills later on-(you will, for instance, have to learn far more vocabulary to be fluent.)And for people who never had proper language tuition or indeed a good teacher who was able to associate languages this course will be very enlightening.
Rather than fork out for expensive one on one tuition do buy this course, satisfaction guaranteed!
