'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
Swedish naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress *
Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing
or memorizing * Build up your Swedish in manageable steps by
thinking out answers for yourself * Progress to the full Foundation
Swedish course with confidence in the method. 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 Roger Nyborg,
Hakan Rosenqvist 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 Swedish language
learning journey. It is not intended to get you perfectly fluent,
but it will get you speaking and using Swedish, 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 Swedish 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 Swedish follows on from the Start course.
