Anyone can learn a language with Michel Thomas – The World’s Greatest Language Teacher and he has taken the language-learning world by storm. With NO BOOKS, NO MEMORIZING AND NO HOMEWORK, Michel teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using the method he has perfected over the last 50 years, he now shares his secret with the world – and ‘makes it simple’.
With Thomas’s method, the teacher cautions students to avoid making notes and to refrain from making conscious attempts to memorise, promising that the teacher will “be taking full responsibility” for their learning. Thomas stated that keeping the students relaxed, focused and stretched with a feeling of mounting successful achievement, is at the heart of the method. The removal of the stress and anxiety ‘of being put on the spot’ of conventional language learning, especially school language learning, is a key goal of the method.
