The Method:
Stress-free audio learning
Michel Thomas teaches you French through your own language, so there’s no stress, and no anxiety. He builds it up, step by step, and you don’t move on until you’ve absorbed and understood the previous point. And, as Michel Thomas said, ‘What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don’t forget.’ With parallels to the way you learned your own language, you’ll learn French in ‘real-time’ conditions. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization.
Why it Works:
Learn the French language the way you learned your own
You learned your own language naturally and enjoyably: now you can learn French in the same way. You’ll stick with it because you’ll love it. Use the unique method perfected over fifty years by the celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas.
This method works with your brain, helping you to build up your French in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out the answers for yourself. You learn through listening and speaking without the pressure of writing or memorizing. You pick up the language naturally and unforgettably.
