Intermediate German (Michel Thomas Method) - Full course: Learn German with the Michel Thomas Method

by Michel Thomas

A unique and perfectly brilliant way of teaching languages . - Stephen Fry in Rescuing the Spectacled Bear

Looking for a convenient intermediate language course that fits your lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it.

Improve your German naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress.

Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing.

Build up your German in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself.

How does it work?
For 50 years, Michel Thomas worked on decoding languages into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced sequentially so that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the very first hour you will be able to construct complex phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize.

You will learn at your own pace, pausing and responding where necessary, and complete the 4-hour course in about 15-20 hours. By the end of the Intermediate course, you will have a solid working knowledge of German and be able to express yourself confidently in a variety of situations. You can continue to review and practice with the additional 1-hour Review course.

He survived imprisonment in several different Nazi concentration camps after serving in the Maquis (World War II) of the French Resistance and worked with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps during World War II. After the war, Thomas emigrated to the United States, where he developed a language-teaching system known as the Michel Thomas Method. In 2004 he was awarded the Silver Star by the U.S. Army.
