Title: Michel Thomas Beginner Greek, Lesson 1

Author: Hara Garoufalia-Middle, Howard Middle

Narrator: Hara Garoufalia-Middle, Howard Middle

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

What is the Michel Thomas Method?

Lessons 1-8, the Beginner course: This course makes no assumption of knowledge of any language other than English and gives the beginner practical and functional use of the spoken language. It is also appropriate for anyone who has studied Greek before, but has forgotten much of it or does not have confidence in speaking. The Beginner course is designed to take you from complete beginner to intermediate level.

Lessons 9-12, the Intermediate course: This course is for those with an intermediate-level foundation in Greek, or those who have completed lessons 1-8 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak Greek proficiently and easily.

How does it work?

Unlike most language courses that focus around topics or grammar forms, the Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the first 10 minutes of the course, you will be generating complete sentences on your own. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and "recycles" language taught in earlier lessons, allowing you to build ever-more complicated sentences. Because the Method is based on understanding, not memorisation, there is no set limit to the length of time that you should study each lesson. Once you feel you have a good grasp of the language taught in one lesson, you can move on to the next.

In lesson 1 of the Greek Beginner course, youll be able to make statements and ask questions (positive and negative) with

In the next lesson youll learn that nouns have different genders and the effect this has on articles and pronouns, and be able to use verbs in the "he/she/it" form.

It works for me

It is not just a list of words, neither a set of rules. It helps you understand the language by expanding through structured sentences gradually adding new vocabulary. For me this works. I have a way to go but, so far, I am impressed and am hoping to continue with lesson 2 and then further if I can continue to maintain my interest. I am interested to see how I get on when I make my annual visit to Greece this summer.

easy and enjoyable

easy to follow, you feel part of the class -highly recommended way to learn

Excellent

I found this very helpful, any Greek that I can speak is entirely down to this app and it was very easy to learn

Great start

I already know a little greek but this is fantastic at putting it into sentences and getting to grips with ways of remembering words and phrases.

May be a little hard to pick up from beginner but a bit of repetition and you will be well on your way.

Really liked it

Easy to follow. Good repetition. Nice and easy. Just wasn't as long as I expected, but good!

Best way to learn a language!

Wonderful approach to language learning which moves new words quickly into your working vocabulary by giving you multiple opportunities to use them in sentences. You also learn proper sentence structure quickly and easily by following cues from the instructor. Outstanding!

Extremely effective

Excellent method -- by far the best I have tried. The approach of having two students, a teacher, and a native speaker works beautifully. What I also appreciate very much is the focus on words and phrases that one uses in everyday conversation rather than strictly tourist or travel phrases.

Best language course i have listened too

Although you need to listen to all 8 books in the series and then keep practicing , it is great you can do the course as an Audible subscriber rather than buying the expensive disk set.

Title: FSI Language Courses: Hebrew

Author: Foreign Service Institute

Narrator: Foreign Service Institute

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-12

Publisher: ABN

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Language Instruction, Other Languages

Publisher's Summary:

Despite the fact that are only approximately six million speakers of Modern Hebrew, a disproportionate amount of interest relative to its size exists in learning Hebrew. This is largely tied to Jewish communities around the world, but is also generated by interest among many Christian communities.

An enduring resource for those looking to learn Hebrew has been the program originally developed by the Foreign Service Institute, a department within the U.S. State Department. While originally aimed at providing overseas diplomatic personnel with practical Hebrew language skills, these courses are now available for the general public.

The challenge with the FSI Hebrew course has been the text quality. While the course text is certainly still legible, its age has started to show. However, the quality of the audio remains the same.

For someone with some basic rudiments of Hebrew, the audio alone should prove to be a significant boost to learning. The course provides the student with the basic patterns of the Hebrew language by imitating native speakers in the audio. This is coupled with vocabulary memorization, which allows the student to manipulate the basic phrases covered and create a large number of sentences.

Members Reviews:

A Beneficial Tool in Assisting Hebrew Study

It may seem that I rated this Hebrew course a little higher than others. Yes, the tape-recording sound quality dates this course from a time gone by. Almost all of my audio books come as a Level 4, but because of the poor sound quality, it is more difficult to listen to. I found that by listening to the lessons for a while, I was able to finally understand the pronunciation; that is, my ears adjusted to the sound, and I could understand it. At first, I was discouraged, but once I found I could assimilate the sounds and understand the communication, I found it was useable for me and beneficial in my language learning in Hebrew. One of the down sides of this course is, there is no booklet to follow along and learn the meaning of newer words. The thing that made this course workable for me was the fact that I completed the entire Audio Pimsleur Hebrew Levels 1 to 3. I was able to understand many of the sentences, numbers, clock times and everyday happenings in Hebrew despite the poor sound quality. Also, some of the sentences I had never heard before, but I knew everyone of the words from having completed the Pimsleur Hebrew. And therefore I was able to assimilate the meaning of these newer sentences and expand my base of Hebrew comprehension. I will admit I was a US military linguist using German behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, and I and other linguists had to deal with much poorer sound quality than this but yet understand it and process it; so maybe I have an edge. I would not recommend this to the Hebrew student starting out for the first time. I would recommend doing the Audio Pimsleur Hebrew first then go for this one for reinforcement and language maintenance. The more different Hebrew speakers you listen to will help you to understand more Hebrew speakers with different accents and patterns of speech.

Terrible audio quality

I'll keep this short and sweet. The audio quality is so poor that you simply cannot get through this language course. It's grainy, full of static and background noise and the narrator is difficult to hear anyway.

Any additional comments?

I've more than half way through the Punjabi and Hindi versions. These are my first foray into Indian languages and I'm very impressed with the series.

The Pimsleur course takes a slightly different approach to language learning. The rate of progress with these lessons is slow compared to the typical approach of grammar + vocabulary. But it excels tremendously at developing your inner ear to hear the language and at making conversation second nature rather than a purely mechanical affair. If you don't understand what I mean by this let me give an example: I studied Spanish in school for 6 years, had a huge vocabulary but couldn't understand a word from a native speaker and most definitely couldn't converse. When I went to India recently, having done maybe 1/3 of the Punjabi series, I couldn't exactly have a deep conversation as my vocab was extremely limited BUT whenever I heard someone speaking with the tools I'd learned, my ear immediately picked it up. Also I could distinguish individual words even though I didn't know them. It was exciting given how little I knew!

The content is great - it makes you think on your toes and it's not condescending or overly simplistic or anything like that. The technical production is top notch with different native speakers for male/female. The narrator is American English - all very clear and intelligible.

Incredibly clear and helpful!

Loved this way of learning a language. Really easy to remember and understand. Found I can vary and construct my own sentences.

Impressed

For a person with very raw Punjabi basics I've found this to be extremely helpful
