'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. * Pick up
Egyptian Arabic naturally and unforgettably without strain or
stress * Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of
writing or memorizing * Build up your Egyptian Arabic in manageable
steps by thinking out answers for yourself 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 Method teachers Jane Wightwick
and Mahmoud Gaafar 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 20-30 hours. By the end of the course,
you will understand and have the confidence to speak basic Egyptian
Arabic. 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 Egyptian Arabic language learning journey. It is
not intended to get you perfectly fluent, but it will get you
speaking and using Egyptian Arabic, 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 NEW IN THIS NEW EDITION? This new
edition includes an audio review course to let you quickly revise
and consolidate your learning once you've completed the full
course. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?* Foundation Egyptian Arabic
includes 8 audio course CDs and 2 audio review CDs to continue and
consolidate your knowledge. The booklet is available to download
from www.michelthomas.com. *Note that the course content is the
same as the previously entitled Total Arabic course, but the CD-ROM
has been replaced with audio review CDs. LEARN ANYWHERE! 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? Intermediate Egyptian
Arabic follows on from the Foundation course.
