Yes, it does stick in your mind!

Firstly my native language is English, and I also speak Italian at an intermediate level as my parents are Italian born. My only other contact with another language was that I took German classes for six months at night during my first year at University. That was almost 20 years ago.
Becuase my latest job sees me travelling long hours on the road, I thought it opportune to refresh my interest in the German language. I went to the International Language Bookshop in town and spoke to the service desk. I told them I wanted the best language course that was most suitable for the car. I was given three options. One was Pimsleur, the second was Michel Thomas and the third I really can't remember. The lady in the store told me Michel Thomas was a "bit different, and you will either love him or hate him". Fortunately they gave me the option to listen to each one in the store.
I listened to all three. After 10 minutes of listening to Michel I was hooked. It's like having a cranky old kraut professor telling you how to speak German! And he is passionate about the language, and uses little memory tricks to get you to remember words and their meaning. He also gives you the background on the language, and it is done in a nice casual conversational manner. Two students are used to create the talking situations and i found the whole approach refreshing and INTERESTING. I do have a low boredom threshold, and some of these educaional language classes suck the very desire out of you to learn the language you want to speak!
As the sales lady said you will eiher love him or hate him - Try and get a sample of the course before you buy if you have the opportunity. I am sure you will very quickly be able to make up your mind if Michel is for you.
Danke & Guten Abend! ***** |
