'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. * Improve
your Mandarin Chinese naturally and unforgettably without strain or
stress * Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of
writing or memorizing * Build up your Mandarin Chinese 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 teacher Harold Goodman 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 complex 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 15-20
hours. By the end of the course, you will have a solid working
knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and be able to express yourself
confidently in a variety of situations. 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 language learning
journey. The Intermediate course will give you a full understanding
of all the verb tenses and help you to speak more fluidly, with
proper pronunciation, faster than most any other method. Along with
the Foundation course, 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?* Intermediate Mandarin Chinese
includes 4 audio Course CDs and 1 audio Review CD 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 Perfect Mandarin Chinese course,
but the CD-ROM has been replaced with audio review CDs. LEARN
