What is Learn a Language with Michel Thomas?

The Michel Thomas language learning method aims to provide a natural and effective way to learn a new language. It was developed by acclaimed linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, who believed that students could achieve near-native fluency without traditional memorization or drills.

In the audio courses, Michel Thomas guides two students through the fundamentals of the language. He builds up their abilities step-by-step, while continually encouraging and pushing them to construct full sentences on their own. There is no reading, writing, or homework involved - only speaking and listening.

The method works to form intuitively correct language habits, with particular emphasis on the essential vocabulary and structures needed for fluent communication. Over 8-16 hours of audio instruction, students gain a basic working knowledge of the language while internalizing its rhythm and pronunciation patterns.

Available languages include Spanish, Italian, German, French, English for Spanish Speakers, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Pashto, Dari, Dutch, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Hebrew. The courses feature the voice of Michel Thomas himself along with two students learning the language.
