About the author

Michel Thomas (born Moniek (Moshe) Kroskof, February 3, 1914 – January 8, 2005) was a polyglot linguist, language teacher, and decorated war veteran. 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.

Michel Thomas Foundation Courses are the best introduction into any language, and this one is no exception. Just in 8 hours you, as a third student in a group taught by Michel Thomas, will gain a sound understanding of Spanish equivalents to present tense, imperative, present progressive tense, past tense, past progressive tense, subjunctive mood and lots of other useful language constructions.

And the most important thing is that, as Michel Thomas promises, "what you learned, you will not forget". Because this is not a parrot training course based on monotonous memorizing, this is a course that shows you how the language works and stays with you.

Read in 2013.

Audio book of eight hours with this unique and absolutely great working method of learning a language.
After trying different ways of learning Spanish by other audio books, comprehensions, text books...I can say, this one just works as best, its quick and it doesn't feel like "study work".

Thanks Michel for this neat and pleasant way to dip into a new language.
