'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 * Progress to the full
Foundation Egyptian Arabic 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 Teacher Jane Wightwick,
native speaker 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 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 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 INCLUDED IN
THE COURSE?* Start Egyptian Arabic 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 Egyptian Arabic follows on from the Start
course.

flashcards make cracking the Hindi script and learning those first
important words seem almost effortless. 100 key items of everyday
vocabulary are presented and practised using a variety of
highly-illustrated puzzles and games. 100 tear-out flashcards are
an invaluable interactive feature of the book. The learner can use
the cards as instant aids and play memory games with them.
Flashcards can help overcome the fear of the script in the early
stages. There is a large Hindi-speaking community in the UK who are
keen to learn the script. The numbers learning Hindi as a foreign
language are growing, due to its position as the most
widely-understood Indian language and interest in Hindi films and
music. The material is modern, fun and easy to use.
