Looking for a beginner refresher language course that fits into your busy lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? Michel Thomas's unique method is designed to overcome the frustrations usually faced by language learners so you can...
* Pick up Italian naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress
* Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing
* Build up your Italian in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself
How does it work?
For 50 years, celebrated psycholinguist, Michel Thomas, worked on decoding languages into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced sequentially so that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. You will be able to generate complete sentences instinctively, having absorbed the language and grammatical structures.
During this two-hour one-to-one seminar, Michel Thomas widens your vocabulary and teaches authentic phrases and expressions. It is the ideal course for brushing up on your language skills, or as a follow-on to the Michel Thomas Foundation Italian course. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to express yourself more fully by using idiomatic phrases and language that will give you the edge when it comes to communicating. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and responding where necessary, and complete the 2-hour course in about 5-6 hours.
The method works in tune with how the brain prefers to receive, store and then retrieve information. You'll stick with it, because you'll love it.

Michel Thomas (1914-2005) had an amazing life. Born in Poland, he spent his early years in Germany and then in France, where he studied psychology at the Sorbonne in Paris. When war broke out, he fought with the Resistance and suffered imprisonment in labour camps. At the end of the war he joined the US liberation army and later settled in the US where he established his world-famous language school. Languages, being his strength and passion became the focus of the next 50 years of his life that he spent developing a method that he hoped would change the way we teach and learn - so that everyone could succeed. He developed this method 'that works with the brain'. After creating several courses of his own, he passed on his method so that other teachers might use it too.
