another audio course - Michel Thomas German Foundation Language Course day before yesterday found on the Internet is another audiokurs German, in their approach is very similar to the rate Pimsler. Of course in English .... However, since I began to learn German audiokurs my English is not very scary ...
On the very date can be read here
http://www.michelthomascourses.co.uk/michel-thomas-german-advanced-language-course-cd-p-28.html I ready to talk about their vperchatleniyah.
on the total rate of the material is less than the rate Pimsler or FSI. The course is divided into 2 parts Foundation and Advanced. Each of which in total last hours of 6 (each lesson lasting 5 minutes). As there is a course Language Builder (16 lessons with 10 lessons) and Vacabulary (63 lessons in about 5-6 minutes) that I realized after a cursory study of booklets designed to replicate the study individual words and language constructs. Last voiced no longer Michel Thomas.
course differs from others in that it involves not only scoring Michel Thomas, and 2 pupils, who also taught the language. This campaign, I have not heard. In this case, students do not speak properly and strarayutsya Michel Thomas constantly corrects them, repeating the words medelnno. This allows us to again and again to hear the pronunciation of the word. But the disciples are wrong so many times that sometimes it becomes annoying! On the other hand are pleased that not only do not remember the words and make mistakes :):). What inspires.
And the rest is repeated principle Dr. Pimslela. We study the standard speech design minimum of grammar. Everything is repeated so many times (we do not feel boring rote learning), all memorized by itself. This is especially important for me, because I can not stand to learn something by heart. Of course, I could easily one day to learn 50-70 new words using the lingo, but then just as easily, and they forget: (. Therefore, agony, waiting for the word will go down in my memory itself from what I read, listen, talk and write .... Not easy, but reliable ... And cramming and annoying, and rastraivaytes, and not brings results.
Another plus for the course Michel Thomas - the presence of the booklet, which shows all the construction (German-English parallel), which were announced in the classroom. This is a huge plus, since very often in the course Pimslera I just heard the word correctly, she could not read them correctly, find the text, as remembered them by ear. Because sometimes did not understand English, and could not, and to understand something. For example, the lesson of the word subway - U-Bahn, I pereslushivala times, 3 so far in the next lesson, do not guess on context. :):). What do we have another similar type of transport, except for Bus and Auto:).
In general, I liked the course. Although I listened to him not quite beginner:). Still Until the middle of the second part Pimslera I dobrela:).
When pull yourself together to learn French, then I'll listen to him and Pimslera in parallel with the start of the course Michel Thomas, as words there are pronounced more slowly .....
Many in interete complain about his aaktsent, but I can not judge it qualified as not professional. English I understand .....
the course itself, I rocked here
