Book Reviews of Michel Thomas Speak French For Beginners: 10-CD Beginner's Program (Michel Thomas Speak...)
Book Review: Speaking in minutes!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've never taken a lick of French in my life, but wanted to learn some when I found out my brother would be going to Senegal for 6 months as an exchange student I wanted to learn some of the language he would be speaking for half a year.
I was absolutely astonished at how quickly I was able to start speaking full sentences in French. Granted, I spoke carefully and deliberately, but I was definitely speaking and really understanding French. My brother, who has studied the language for 6 years in high school and college, was amazed at the pace I was picking it up. Michel's method really is that effective. It's amazing. While the vocabulary you get is somewhat limited, you make up for it by learning the structure of the language and how it operates, which you can fill in with vocab later.
I had to take off one star for two reasons. (1) The female student was really annoying. She was struggling to get it, and when she actually said something correctly her reactions were weird. Not a big deal, but when you're listening for 10 hours... (2) Biggest weakness of this course is that it does not help develop your ear. I found that while I could speak some complex sentences, I still had a very hard time understanding spoken French. I recommend Pimsleur to fill this gap.
Overall, amazing product.
