"A compelling teacher ... you really do remember what you're learning"
(Italia! )"Remarkably effective, addictive even"
(London Evening Standard )(Adventure Travel )
"Moving along at a relaxed, slow pace, punctuated by amusing anecdotes and jokes from the teacher, the new words, phrases and language rules are gently introduced and reinforced through subtle repetition without ever being tedious. In fact, despite a distinct emphasis on non-work, the course proves very effective and enjoyable, and its format is ideal for learning anywhere you like. So, if you only want to learn to speak the language, this course is highly recommended."

Personally, I find Michel Thomas's gravelly voice and exaggerated intonation memorable. He is sometimes unclear or inconsistent, but that just prompts me to investigate further. A good book (such as Alwena Lamping's Grammar) is helpful for clarifying the things that Michel Thomas doesn't explain well or pronounce clearly (such as the difference between 'mi' and 'me').
You need to be quick on the pause button: he often leaves no gap at all between saying the question and giving the answer. There's no point in trying to use this material while driving or doing the ironing.
It's a bit expensive though - I would have expected three CDs at this price. Even so, if Michel Thomas brings out a third level course I'll be the first to get it.
Almost everything covered in it is covered in the 8 hour course with little or no new information being covered. However, it does serve as a good revision to the 8 hour course. Having said that, you could have just listened to the 8 hour course again!
When is an ADVANCED course coming out? (i.e. another 8 hour course). This is what we want!
