Synopsis
'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 MethodLooking 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 ThomasBefore 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 yo, Learn over 50 essential words at the heart of German and how to put them together to make yourself understood. This one-hour 'taster' course is the first hour of the eight-hour Foundation German course and will get you speaking the language immediately: no books, no pens, no memorizing - just listen, connect and speak. What's new? This new edition includes remastered audio. How does it work? 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 memorizing. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. Why is the method so successful? The Michel Thomas Method was perfected over 50 years by celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. This unique method works with your brain and draws on the principles of instructional psychology. Knowledge is structured and organised so that you assimilate the language easily and don't forget it. The method breaks down the language into building blocks that are introduced sequentially in such a way that you create your response and move on to ever-more-complex sentences. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization, so you progress rapidly. What's in the Course?* Start German comprises one audio CD. It is the first hour of the eight-hour Foundation German course. The booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com. *Note that the course content is the same as the previous Start German edition, but contains remastered audio. Learn anywhere Don't be tied to chunky books or your computer, Michel Thomas Method audio courses let you learn whenever you want: at home, in your car, or on the move with your MP3 player. Where do I go next? Foundation German (ISBN: 9781473692879) follows on from the Start German course with seven audio CDs and two audio review CDs.

    The book was in the condition as described, so I wasn't expecting much. But actually it was in pretty good shape for my standards, I was surprised. Furthermore the book was sent in a cardboard box to protect it from damage during shipment. This box was evidence of the seller's intent to deliver a good product and I will definitely be going to this seller before other in the future.

    Hit & miss shipping. Quick customer service response. Requested cardboard mailer for softcover book when buying, was to be a gift. Their shipping is the same if it is a cardboard mailer or a bubble mailer, $3.99. The book arrived damaged, bubble mailer torn. They offered a discount for damaged book & missing shipping request. I accepted but still disappointed, as I will have to buy it again. Last week different order was shipped in cardboard mailer item, arrived perfect no damage as described.
