Foundation Dutch New Edition: Learn Dutch with the Michel Thomas Method
Description:
Looking for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it.\n* Pick up Dutch naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress * Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing
* Build up your Dutch in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself.\nHOW DO THE COURSES WORK?\nDuring the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method teachers Cobie Adkins-de Jong and Els Van Geyte and two students in a live lesson, learning from both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout the course. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class. Within the very first hour you will be able to construct simple phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 20-30 hours. By the end of the course, you will understand and have the confidence to speak basic Dutch.\nWHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE?
The Michel Thomas Method will help you kick-start, continue, and flourish in your Dutch language learning journey. It is not intended to get you perfectly fluent, but it will get you speaking and using Dutch, with proper pronunciation, faster than most any other method. It is designed to give you a strong foundation and good working knowledge of a language from which you can expand and later 'add decoration' to. It is a rapid method for learning, but still requires effort and concentration on the part of the learner.\nWHAT'S NEW IN THIS NEW EDITION?
This new edition includes an audio review course to let you quickly revise and consolidate your learning once you've completed the full course.\nWHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?*
Foundation Dutch includes 8 audio Course CDs and 2 audio Review CDs to continue and consolidate your knowledge. The booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com.\n*Note that the course content is the same as the previously entitled Total Dutch course, but the CD-ROM has been replaced with audio review CDs.\nWHERE DO I GO NEXT?
Intermediate Dutch follows on from the Foundation course.
