3 out of 5 stars Not really the Michel Thomas method   January 2, 2009
Theuth (UK)
Like the other reviewer I'm only one and a bit CDs in at the moment so maybe things change but this is not the Michel Thomas method as far as I can tell. What you get is lots mnemonics, some of which are useful (but far more than in other courses and much more emphasized), and lots more repetition. It feels like we have done every version of "i eat", "i watch" and "i drink" with a handful of nouns in different forms in dozens of combinations, but this is just dull. The teacher is not really managing the memory load like the great man (Michel Thomas) did on his original courses but drilling to the point of boredom.


Now don't get me wrong. This is still probably superior to many other methods as you do get seemingly most of what you need on the CD and possibly the pace picks up later. But it's more like being in a standard classroom course, and not really what those of us who love the MT method have come to expect.

A reasonable course but also dissapointing given the stable this comes from. I would have liked to write the review when I finished the course but honestly not sure I'm going to go to completion as Japanese is not vital for me and this is not interesting enough.

A chance missed.



5 out of 5 stars Pretty Good   December 20, 2008
Conor Sands (Northern Ireland)
I'm one disc in and i think its pretty good. I'm learning japanese through a book, talking to my japanese friends, My Japanese Coach on the DS and this. The more sources of learning available the better. It seems like a natural way of absorbing the language.
Its like sitting in a class room. I would recommend it.
