Paging Linger - Michel Thomas

The first CD has no sound.

Can you rip it again, please, old boy?

 

Acksherly, I'm missing CD1 ( French ). I don't suppose anyone
would........ no? Yes? Oh, go on then. Ta.

( I would say Merci, but since I don't have CD1, I haven't learned that
word yet. )

 

Funnily enough, the MT spanish course doesn't mention please, thankyou,
hello or goodbye. Does the french one?

Yes, but not directly as such - however, you will know how to say it
without being told within two CDs anyway as you'll know the words that
make up the phrase

I'm pretty sure that none of those words are used even once in the whole
of the 8 CDs. Then again, a local woman here teaching spanish, decided
after 2 years to "start doing some verbs".

I *think* he might have thrown in hello and thanks, when he touches upon
'como está'. Are you busy Paul? Surely semi retirement provides you
with ample spare time to listen through them again and check.

 

That'll be "¿Cómo está?", of course.

Too lazy. In between drinking and sleeping, there just ain't enough
time. Apart from that, if I had to listen to that fucking awful accent
of his one more time, I'd be unhappy.

Sorry m8.

I've only just seen this. It's on the Gmail drive now. Do you still want it?

 

Nope. Got it now, ta

mais oui, bonjour, aussi, bien.

 

Tu ****.

 

croissant a la gare c'est vrai.

 

I've dl'd it too, thanks. Now all I have to do is mangle the French
language as badly as I do English.

 

Anyone *cough* got the Italian version?

 

Having read several reviews of these courses on the Amazon website I am
a bit confused as to why people rave about them. It seems that all he
does is get you to a point where your ear and brain are "tuned in" to
the sound of the language and the structure. Most of the negative
remarks concern the lack of vocabulary and the inability to construct a
remotely useful sentence that you might wish to use on holiday or on a
visit to a country.

While I accept that being able to hear and understand a language is
crucial it seems a bit daft that you couldn't reply to a question like
"eat here or take away" in say German if you have persevered enough to
be able to ask for a sandwich in the first place. Yet seemingly you
would be able to say "that is an excellent philosophical concept" at a
dinner party.

Am I being unfair in my assessment? I'm asking because my recent
travels have kindled a desire to learn some German and Italian to add to
my (not bad) French and (pretty rusty) Dutch.

 

I have it. Don't know how to get it to you, though.

 

Well, my brother and his girlfriend speak 12 different languages
between them (not counting the ones they have in common), and they
recommend Michel Thomas. That's good enough for me.

 

For various reasons the use of P2P type apps is not something I wish to make
use of on this particular machine.

 

Rip to Mp3?

 

And then...?
