The Method:

Stress-free audio learning
Michel Thomas teaches you through your own language, so there’s no stress, and no anxiety. He builds it up, step by step, and you don’t move on until you’ve absorbed and understood the previous point. And, as Michel Thomas said, ‘What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don’t forget.’ With parallels to the way you learned your own language, each language is learned in ‘real-time’ conditions. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization.

A ‘virtual’ classroom
The classroom situation on the recording lets you learn with others. You enjoy their success, and you learn from their mistakes. The students on the recordings are not reading from scripts and they have received no additional instruction or preparation – just the guidance you hear on the recording. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class.

There’s no such thing as a poor student, only a poor teacher
This is an important part of the Michel Thomas Method. Full responsibility for your learning lies with the teacher, not with you, the pupil. This helps to ensure that you can relax and feel confident, allowing you to learn effectively.


Why it Works:

Learn another language the way you learned
your own
You learned your own language naturally and enjoyably: now you can learn Mandarin Chinese in the same way. You’ll stick with it because you’ll love it. Use the unique method perfected over fifty years by the celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas.

This method works with your brain, helping you to build up your Chinese in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out the answers for yourself. You learn through listening and speaking without the pressure of writing or memorizing. You pick up the language naturally and unforgettably. Join the millions of people worldwide who have learned a new language with the Michel Thomas Method.
