Ramayana is one of the most popular epics in the world, having been
translated into various languages. It is a tale of Ram, the prince
of Ayodhya, who was banished to the forest for 14 years. To honour
his father's word, he agreed to be exiled without any murmur or
rancour. In the forest, Ram, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshman
met saints, new friends and strange foes. Each day brought new
adventures. But their spartan, yet happy life was spoilt when Ravan
of Lanka, the king of demons, abducted Sita. To rescue her, Ram
enlisted the help of the vanar sena (monkey army) of Hanuman. In
that battle many heroes died and new ones had come alive. The book
Ramayana Tales for Children is a compilation of 40 one-page stories
for children. Language used is plain and simple. Each story unfolds
the way original epic proceeds. Long details have been dispensed
with while retaining the essence that children can easily grasp.
The stories come with realistic caricature based illustrations to
retain interest of young readers. In this vividly told vibrant
version for children, the ancient epic unfolds many unpredictable
twists and turns. The traditional ingredients are all there -
adventure and excitement, love and war and an infinite number of
stories within stories, as are the traditional characters -
monkeys, who cross a sea to lay floating bridge and also carry on
their finger life-giving herbs found only on a mountain, besides
shape-changing demons and monsters of many varieties. The epic has
been rendered traditional and contemporary by the freshness and
vitality of the author J.M.Mehta and exuberant illustrations that
retain the interest of children till the last.

'The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own.
You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it...
It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking,
Hey, Ich kann do dis.' - New Yorker, David Sedaris, humorist and
author, on learning German with the Michel Thomas Method Looking
for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets
you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The
original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune
with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve
information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. This
Taster course is the first hour of the eight-hour Foundation German
course. Within this first hour you will learn 50 essential words of
German thanks to the Michel Thomas Method, perfected over 50 years
by celebrated psycholinguist Michel Thomas. * Pick up German
naturally and unforgettably without strain * Learn from listening
and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing * Build
up your German in manageable steps by thinking out answers for
yourself * Progress to the full Foundation German course with
confidence in the method. WHAT'S NEW? This new edition includes
remastered audio and comes in new, eco-friendly recyclable
packaging. WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL? 'What you understand,
you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' - Michel Thomas
Before there was machine learning, there was Michel Thomas. For
over 50 years he worked on decoding languages by breaking them down
into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks'
are introduced to the learner sequentially in such a way that you
reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences,
to say what you want, when you want. This unique method draws on
the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way
your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information.
Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the
language easily and don't forget it. The method is designed to
eliminate the stress which prevents you from relaxing and allowing
the brain to work in the way which accepts learning in a seemingly
painless, very exciting and highly motivating way. HOW DO THE
COURSES WORK? 'All stress inhibits true and effective learning' -
Michel Thomas During the course, you will join Michel Thomas and
two students in a live lesson, learning from both their successes
and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout
the course. You, as the learner, become the third student and
participate actively in the class. Within the very first hour you
will be able to construct simple phrases by listening and thinking
out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress
of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and
repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 3-5
hours. WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE? 'I am the architect who builds
the house. It's up to you to decorate it.' - Michel Thomas The
Michel Thomas Method will help you kick-start, continue, and
flourish in your German language learning journey. It is not
intended to get you perfectly fluent, but it will get you speaking
and using German, with proper pronunciation, faster than most any
other method. It is designed to give you a strong foundation and
good working knowledge of a language from which you can expand and
later 'add decoration' to. It is a rapid method for learning, but
still requires effort and concentration on the part of the learner.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?* Start German includes one audio CD.
The booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com.
LEARN ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME! Reclaim your pockets of free time to
learn a new language! Don't be tied to chunky books or your
computer, Michel Thomas Method audio courses let you learn whenever
and wherever you want, in as little or as much time as you have.
WHERE DO I GO NEXT? Foundation German follows on from the Start
course.
