More Michel Thomas
Sorry to seem obsessed :P
My opinion of learning a language with the Michel Thomas CDs has improved - as well as the “Complete Course” 8 hour sets you can get the “Advanced Course”, an additional 5 hours designed for people who have done the first 8. Although I think he only does it for French and German…
13 hours of material. Considering the density this begins to rival Pimsleur’s 50 hours (only available for Spanish and German).
He also seems to have lead an amazing life, albeit slightly less amazing than he claimed. But still. Go read about him on Wikipedia.
