Language to learn

Since this thread, I have bought Michel Thomas' foundation course cds to learn French and after the first two hours I have got to say that I learnt absolutely loads already and have already surpassed what I learnt in 6 years of school French lessons!

I highly recommend these cds. I will move onto his advanced course once I have mastered this.

I would add though, that you would definately need a book to complement your learning.

Can you advise on how much these cost you?/

About £35 from a popular online retailer. I got a book on grammar and verbs too which helps with writing out French etc.

Have got to say, I have only listened to the first 3 hours of Michel Thomas. Five minutes in and I already felt like I was winning. Can't recommend him highly enough, he teaches all the basic rules of thumb and points out the origins of most of the words.

After like 2 hours you already know about 2000 words as a lot of English words come from French, you just have to know which ones. All words that end in -ence -ance -ion etc all come from French.

I am going to go through the book eventually, but one step at a time and I am almost certainly going to buy Michel Thomas Advanced course.
