Michel Thomas believed that the greatest barrier to any form of learning was stress: stress from worrying about remembering what you are being taught, stress from being afraid to make a mistake, stress from failing.

With the Michel Thomas Method, all the attention is focused on removing stress and tension from the learning environment. Through the instructional method, the teacher takes on full responsibility for your understanding, and therefore your remembering, of what is being taught. In fact, the Michel Thomas Method forbids you from trying to memorize. There’s no writing, no books, no homework.

The Michel Thomas Method works ‘in tune’ with the way your brain prefers to receive, store and then retrieve information, so you assimilate it easily and don’t forget it. It works by stripping away all inessential language and breaking down the most important language into its component parts. Crystal clear building blocks are then presented, and only when absorbed and understood, the next piece of the puzzle is introduced, enabling you to reconstruct the language for yourself – to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want.

‘What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don’t forget.’

– Michel Thomas

From very early in the course, you will realize that this extraordinary method works. You do remember, and very soon you begin to feel the true excitement of learning, and this is what motivates you to keep going, often not wanting to stop.

“Learning should be about
excitement, not work”
– Michel Thomas

Michel Thomas was a gifted linguist who reputedly mastered 10 languages in his lifetime. He spent 50 years continuously refining his courses and perfecting his method, which build strong foundations of knowledge and fluency, similar to how you learned your own language – step-by-step, listening, repeating, and gently taking you back over earlier points to reinforce your understanding and iron out any problems.

Michel Thomas passed away in January 2005. He was 90 years old. He remains one of the world’s greatest language teachers, an inspiration and mentor to learners everywhere. You can learn more about Michel Thomas’s amazing life in his biography, The Test of Courage.

“ A unique and perfectly brilliant way of teaching languages ”

- Stephen Fry in Rescuing the Spectacled Bear

“ The most extraordinary learning experience of my life. ”

- Emma Thompson in the Guardian

“ I never thought I could learn Spanish, but using the Michel Thomas Method has made me realize there is hope… ”

- Bruce Parry in Amazon for BBC and Discovery

“This is just the best way to teach language; in a way that inspires the student to keep on learning, because they are making the language their own. And that is the best thing about this course. It gives you the confidence in what you are saying and learning enough to really start to understand the language.”

“Michael Thomas is the best and it allowed me to travel the world confidently at the age of 19.”

- Qiyyam Abdullah

“All language learners should begin with the Michel Thomas method.”

Hi guys,
Myself and a few other people on the Michel Thomas forum were putting together a transcript for the Michel Thomas French Vocabulary Course but the publishers have since closed the entire forum. It would be good therefore to finish the transcript here.
Here are the instructions we were working to in the other forum:
Those interested can volunteer to transcribe a track and then post it here.
Once these are posted, other fans can check the spelling, grammar etc and can correct these initial versions if necessary. Gradually, we will get a complete and accurate transcript of the vocabulary course.
If you want to help, state here which track from the French Vocabulary Course you're going to transcribe and then get to work on it. Post your completed transcription of the track here when it's done. As more are completed, we will start knitting them together to make a standard Michel Thomas review booklet.
Here is what we've done so far, feel free to check it and please, let's get people signing up to do the next track, so that we can get a whole booklet done!
CD 1 - Lesson 1
As an English speaker, you already know thousands of French words that are just waiting for you to transformer them from English into French. As Michel Thomas said, French is not really an alien language; 60% of English words are of French origin. These familiar (often everyday) words share similar roots in Greek and Latin. Consider them your best friends as you build your vocabulaire in French. And while they can sometimes be false friends when their meaning is not always the same in French, you can count on them over 90% of the time. That's a real head-start.
In this segment, we'll introduce more than a dozen ways to boost your French using these handy little changes. And once you master these simple transformations, you'll be able to create many hundreds more French words on your own. Michel Thomas already taught you many of these useful transformations, which he wanted you to use to help you inventer your very own French vocabulaire. We'll review these, and learn some more. Yes, a lot of the vocabulary in French and English is very close, so much so that some people joke that French is mispronounced English and vice versa. So, we'll help you with the prononciation of these words, which are largely shared between French and English -just as Michel Thomas did from the very beginning of the first course.
If you ever saw the film called The Pink Panther - La Panthère rose, practise these transformations with your best Inspector Clouseau accent, and you will quickly become really fluent and credible.
Let's begin.
Right at the start of his courses, Michel Thomas explained how English words ending in -ible and -able are usually the same words in French except for their pronunciation. Using this handy tool, the English “possible” becomes possible in French, with the stress firmly pl
