中文名: 米歇尔托马斯德语学习和语言工具英文名: Michel Thomas Learn German (8Cds) + Language Builder(2Cds)资源格式: MP3版本: 10CD地区: 英国对白语言: 德语简介:
No books. No writing. No drills. And nothing to memorize--ever With his unique program, Michel Thomas has taught celebrities, corporate leaders, and schoolchildren--with immediate and amazing results. Now the Language Teacher to the Stars invites everyone to join his class
Using Speak German with Michel Thomas, listeners learn in real time--fully understanding as they go along, turning words into short sentences, and then building them into longer, more complex sentences, until they are conversing in German.
Michel will have listeners formulating their own thoughts and sentences from the very beginning, even if they have never succeeded in learning a language before. Michel has used this very method to teach celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty, and Princess Grace of Monaco.

Remember its just 8 hours, January 9, 2004
Reviewer: gerrybarnett from Cardiff, S. Glam United Kingdom
All the Michel Thomas courses are quite extraordinary in the level of sentence construction you can articulate after just 5 to 10 hours. People should remember that although this course is 8CDs, they are audio CDs and not computer CDs so it is easy to make false comparisons with other courses which may take up to 100 hours to complete. THESE COURSES ARE JUST 8 HOURS (and only ?0) and what you can achieve in that time I have not found anywhere or with any other teaching or method.
After just 4 hours you will be able to construct fairly complex multi-clause conditional sentences in present and future tenses, when in traditional methods you will be still conjugating a simple verb or reciting the days of the week. The usual 2 hours a week for 26 weeks at the local council course (over ?00) will not get you anywhere this level of fluency or retention.
Obviously you will not be an effective German speaker at the end of this but importantly after just 8 HOURS you will have a good understanding of the language fundamentals to take into a more comprehensive training programme if you wish to progress.

Es ist sehr gut (It is very good...), July 29, 2004
Reviewer: chrisaub76 from BOLTON, Lancashire United Kingdom
Quite simply, buy it With almost minimal effort (Ok, you have to put some effort in, but it really isn t too much) you can learn enough German to be able to communicate effectively in simple situations. It gives you the confidence to speak to others in German and gives you a great grounding in the language, which will help you to learn more once you have finished the course.
I listened to this CD in the car, travelling to and from work. This was after moving to Germany, not being able to speak a single word. Within weeks I was able to start asking for things and holding very basic conversations in German. More surprisingly, I was also able to read a lot of German (surprising because there are no reading or writing exercises in the course). Better still, once you have started you will find it easier to pick up new words and sometimes to work out what words mean (Michel teaches you that many English words come from German origins).
I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who wishes to speak German, for whatever reason. This is even if you have never spoken the language before.
The best part has to be the fact that there is so little theory involved - if you are like me and prefer to just get stuck in, then this is perfect for your needs. Also, the fact that Michel does not start with the usual phrases such as What is your name? and How old are you? is a big bonus. He starts straight away with questions that you will actually need in every day situations...
Seriously, buy it - you won t be disappointed

German With Michel Thomas, February 12, 2005
Reviewer: johnnywishboneone from Switzerland
I ve spent a lot of money trying to learn German. I ve been to various classes, I ve got books, flash cards and computer programmes. If spending money made you speak German I d be fluent.
The reason I ve been slow to learn is that I don t find the time to use all these learning aids - I buy them and put them in the cupboard to gather dust. There are two things about the Michel Thomas CD course that make it work for me: First, I can put the CD on in my car whilst I m driving around and all I have to do is listen. Secondly everything is repeated ten thousand times and if there s one thing I seem to need to learn language it s repetition. By the time I d driven to work and back half a dozen times I knew a CD backwards and could move onto the next one.
Michel Thomas rambles on a bit (especially at the beginning of the first CD) and frequently gets annoyed at his inept students but if you can cope with this it will teach you a little bit of German very thoroughly.
True it s expensive but so were all the books I bought and didn t read - at least I got something out of this course.

Good for grammar, but don t expect much vocabulary, November 9, 2004
Reviewer: clivegordon from London, United Kingdom
Is this a good course? It depends on what you want to learn or what you think it ought to contain. Previous reviewers have noted the lack of vocabulary taught: I do not know when I will be able to do it is a typical sentence. Michel concentrates on sentence construction and verbs to the exclusion of almost everything else. This follows his philosophy that verbs are the cornerstone of a language and everything else is just vocabulary (which, by implication, is left as an exercise for the listener). Very few nouns and adjectives are taught and there is virtually no acknowledgement of the existence of case and gender other than pointing up the difference between mich ( me ) and mir ( to me ). At the end of this course, you will not have learnt even such a simple sentence as Ich m鯿hte eine Tasse Kaffee (I would like a cup of coffee). Michel teaches the present, future and conditional tenses of verbs, but not the past - so you will be unable to tell a German what you did yesterday: and Sie but not du so you will be unable to address close friends and family correctly, you being translated in German as du for close friends, children, and family, and Sie for everyone else. (Though this is hardly going to be a great problem unless you get to know a German really well )
HOWEVER, one of the big problems with German, at least for an English-speaker, are the word order rules that result in sentences that literally translate as Can you to me tell how I to the station go? English may be a Germanic language but word order in it has been heavily modified by French - blame the Norman Conquest for that - and the big plus of this course for me is the concentrated drilling in forming sentences. The most oft-heard phrase on the CDs is How would you say...? - and Michel expects you, and his two students, to work it out for yourselves, following which he gives instant feedback on what you should have said. A few hours of this, advancing one small step at a time, and you ll find yourself saying some quite complicated things, AND getting the words in the right order - which is often very different from English - as long as they don t involve nouns There is also a LOT of practice with the German modal verbs, or handles as Michel calls them (can, want, like, may, will - the sort of little words we use all the time). Another big issue is prepositions, which rarely translate simply between the two languages, and Michel tackles a few of these, such as the difference between wenn and ob , both of which translate as if .
At the end of the course you won t be able to say much of any practical use, but you will be in a position to slot any vocabulary you learn later on into meaningful sentences which are grammatically correct, and you will understand a lot of how the language works .
The Advanced course does in fact address some if not all of the criticisms above - which suggests that this course is just not long enough to be a complete course
