I have just spent six weeks transcribing all of Michel Thomas's courses; so perhaps some of you polyglots can read them and find lots of mistakes for me to correct.

That will help a lot of people.
Personally, the MT tapes are my favorite way of spending my first 30 or so hours with the language. The beginner courses get you speaking and constructing your own sentences in present and past and future tenses, while the advanced courses teach - in detail - every spoken tense in the language. I understood Spanish tenses better after 10 hours in the advanced course than I ever did in 4.5 years of schooling. I'm currently learning the French tenses through his advanced course in that, and after I finish his Italian beginner course twice, I will begin the advanced course in that language. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Lengua's correct, it will help quite a few people. You must have had some spare time on your hands! Maybe you should think about the Pimsleur courses next... ;)

Those transcripts are perhaps the one of the best finds on this forum.
Many thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I noticed that the transcripts are written in xhtml, which my browser doesn't open - just save/ignore, and when opening the saved file in IE (6.0) only the regular xhtml code is shown.
Any suggestions? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good work with the transcripts, that would have been quite a task, thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, apparently .xhtml files are difficult for people to read when they use IE 6.0; but it's the only way I could convert my Open Office document into a webpage that looks roughly the same. If anyone knows how I can do this without resorting to .xhtml, I will change the site. In the mean time, you can read the transcripts by using a better browser: Mozilla Firefox (www.mozilla.com) is what I use. I will email the original documents (in Microsoft .doc / rich text / Open Office formats) to anyone who asks for them.

I would like to (for the sake of completeness), but I'm working on an improvement to them, and at the moment that takes up all my time. 1 person has voted this message useful |
