OK, they have another product called "Total French" Here with a similar description, but for beginners. Since it would be INSANE for Hodder to make an inferior version of the course Thomas did so well, I can only assume that the above is a re-marketed version of the old 'Advanced Course'. What a pity. :-( Edited by Random review on 10 November 2010 at 10:34pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The name "Total French" makes it sounds like just a boxed set of the existing courses, but the description doesn't match....

well, I have emailed hodder via the michel thomas website and will report back what their
response is. I too imagine it is just a repackaging of the existing courses. If not these new courses would no longer have MT on them obviously. Plus, the claims for the course seem ridiculous. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hodder have failed to reply to me, so unfortunately, I can't shed any more light on the
situation. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I agree with magictom123. The claims are ridiculous. No single course can take you to the level described. It almost reminds me of the hype-advertising employed by the Rosetta Stone people.
Although I personally don't care for the Michel Thomas method (too much English and constant translation), I thought better of the company. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

These "new" versions appear to be mere reshuffling & repackaging of the familiar CD versions. To see
exactly what these offerings comprise, check following website. All will be made clear. http://www.michelthomas.co.uk/courses.php It seems that the purchaser will end up getting (i.e., paying for) the all-dreaded vocabulary courses whether she wants them or not! I hope this is helpful to all interested in the original MT courses. Edited by thorn324 on 17 July 2011 at 10:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
