There was an old Geocities site that had transcripts for the original Michel Thomas courses, but it departed with Geocities. You can still find at least some of the transcripts from the Wayback Machine, though:

It's a bad idea.
Stick with the audio, then when you're finished learn to read with other materials. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Assimil Spanish With Ease would probably be a good bet as a next step, you will get
plenty of pretty natural content in it compared to most courses. The only problem is it seems the content of the currently available Spanish With Ease course available for English speakers has not been updated since 1987. If you speak French as well though to a decent level perhaps you could get the most recent course with the base language in French instead of English. I think they may have updated editions for a couple of other languages, Italian and Portuguese I believe. It is best to go through the MT courses in audio first then if you want to browse through some of it textually you can read through the accompanying booklets later which list all the words and phrases taught in order with some very brief grammatical explanations. The main thing about MT though is don't worry if you forget some of the vocabulary, as long as you remember how to use the rules and that if you said something wrong but when you hear the answer you understand what you did wrong and why the correct answer was correct then you are doing fine. If you don't have the booklets you can download them from here: BV_SessionID=@@@@1431505634.1304208606@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccia dfdgldjfhdcefecekjdfikdflg. 0&uniqueKey=1304009804153&rule=rule6&ms=1320&ms=1320">Bookle ts 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Another idea that I picked up from a post a while back was to get the Practice Makes Perfect workbooks on Spanish verb tenses and pronouns. Those will reinforce much of the grammar that is taught in the Michel Thomas courses. In my case I bought the kindle versions and work through a little bit of each once every few days as a supplement to my main learning effort which right now is Assimil. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I started out with Michel Thomas, and am now doing Assimil.
Personally, I really wish I had done Asiimil at the same time. Michel Thomas is great, but you can get right through that course in less than a week, and there are fundamentals that are just not taught ( Days of the Week, Numbers etc). I find that re-doing MT at various points helps, because the more Spanish you learn, the more the rules you learn in MT seem to make sense. I hope these comments are of some use to you, and I wish you the best of luck! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
