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.

For English.. below
مرة أخرى ميشيل توماس يبدو رائعا.. استمتعت بدورة الفرنسية وقررت تجربة الإيطالية. أفهم الآن البنية الأساسية للغة حسبما أعتقد ولا أخشى التحدث بها بعض الشيء

Again, Michel Thomas is impressive. I decided to try Italian after enjoying his French course and I really liked the experience. Now I understand the main base of the language (I suppose) and I don't fear speaking for a bit.

One of the best language teachers, if not the best. RIP Michel Thomas.
