DEDICATIONSThis torrent is dedicated to the life and work of MICHEL THOMAS (1914-2005),a man who invented an ingenious and original method for teaching languages.Thomas might easily have shared his work with the world. Instead, he chose tokeep it to himself for fifty years, revealing the 'secret' to just a handful ofwealthy celebrities prepared to pay his extortionate fees. Thanks, Michel!The torrent is also dedicated to the team at Hodder Arnold, publishers ofcourses in eight new languages (most of which are pretty good). They are alsocompulsive liars, I'm afraid to say.
This little exchange on the official MTFacebook page is typical of the misleading advertising the company hasbeen using since the 1990s:Abhishek: I have completed the introductory spanish course but whenwill I be able to understand spanish movies.is it be possible afterthe advanced course??Hodder Education: The Advanced courses will take you to the standard ofan English A-Level, so you should be able to follow and understand filmsafter completing this level.Finally, this torrent is dedicated to the original Joe Kane, compiler of theearlier versions of the torrent. Joe passed away a few months ago and, believeit or not, one of his deathbed requests was that his torrents should continueto be seeded.
Version 3 of this torrent has been produced to honour thisrequest. Thanks, Joe!-2. INTRODUCTIONThank you for downloading this torrent. So cool, and spot on with the commentary at the top, lol!H.A. Used to run a discussion board for fans of the materials, and when, at the invitation of the moderators, users began putting up better course material than they were coming out with (I'm looking at you Japanese) they shut the site down.I'll dig through and post what I have from that time.Think what could have been if Thomas had shared his methods, how different teaching could have been. Maybe he did meet with too much resistance, originally; I may never know.Thank you for keeping this going. You have done a great service.
I'm sorry to hear about Joe Kane 'Sr'. Glad his wishes are being fulfilled.
@bigred777 Yes, I forgot to create a separate torrent for the Francophone courses. I've had a little hard drive accident here, so there's no possibility of doing it now; but all of the Francophone courses I had, I got from other torrents. Hopefully they're still available for people to download.@Gamaman I remember the old MT forums well, but I don't remember the Homebrew courses being any good. Maybe I didn't see the superior ones you've described.@all Thanks for your comments, hope you've all been studying hard! Nitroglycerin patch for sale. First of all, thanks to Joe Kane (both of them).
You're the man!Listen, I've noticed some of the materials have some imprecision. Being a Portuguese native speaker, I'd be willing to hand notes on pronunciation and usage.I'm also naming all the tracks with all the new words a track contains.
And in addition, and this is of course a huge enterprise, I intend to start making review materials from the original courses in GarageBand, just like the available ones in Spanish, French, etc.Anyone interested in any of this?
Epic torrent! Downloaded and extracted the zip files without any problems whatsoever. Since then I have also personally played back a couple of files from every single CD, and didn't come across one glitch.The sampling quality and bitrate is excellent for every recording, even in the Mandarin Chinese course where exact pronunciation is particularly important.
I actually own the Russian, French and Chinese box sets and I can confirm there is no appreciable difference between the official CD recordings and this download.100% recommended - well worth the download. I'm starting the Japanese course tomorrow.:PThanks a million JoeKane! BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS TORRENT, IT IS MISSING THE MANDRIN VOCAB.joekane567 its time to scub this torrent and create V3. Greek is ready as well.DOES ANY ONE HAVE A LINK TO THE CHINESE VOCAB?This much-anticipated Vocabulary Course carries forward the Michel Thomas teaching tradition and faithfully follows his unique approach to foreign language learning.The essential format is the same all-audio, building-block approach. The teacher and native-speaker assistant instruct two students in the recording studio in real time and the student at home becomes the third member of the class.Learning vocabulary is notoriously difficult if attempted in the traditional way? With long lists and hours of memorisation.
However, with the Michel Thomas Method, new words and phrases are presented in such a way that they cannot be forgotten. They are interwoven with what has gone before so they are imprinted in your knowledge bank for ever.The vocabulary in the courses is carefully chosen from a relatively small number of?power words? Which open up an amazing range of expression and comprehension.Building and expanding on the language structures taught in the Foundation and Advanced Courses, these new Vocabulary Courses give you all you need to enjoy travelling in the Mandarin Chinese-speaking world, be it for business or pleasure.
