Michel Thomas is a fantastic way to start learning a language, he gives you a rock solid foundation and learns you
all the grammar easily (if you take the advanced course too).
He started me on my Spanish learning quest.

Brilliant - I am getting the Spanish one from the library tomorrow - I was just wondering about it.
How does it teach you? What sort of style is it, what would i expect to find etc?
Thanks

It's Him, and two students (beware of the male, he is a total retard!!!) I would recommend that you import the CD's
to your computer.
His learning method is like LEGO's, Hi gives you more blocks, and you can build longer, more complicated,
sentences.

no, his accent isn't a problem, i found it fine. At least with the Spanish. The thing to be careful about is when he
tells you the v's are pronounced B. It's more like a sharp V, not a B.

No there isn't. To my knowledge, he has produced courses for Spanish, French, German, and Italian. There are more languages, but it's the Michel Thomas METHOD, not him personally.
His German accent was good. For Italian, it was so-so but very comprehensible.
