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.

* Pick up Egyptian Arabic naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress

* Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing

* Build up your Egyptian Arabic in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself

* Progress to the full Foundation Egyptian Arabic course with confidence in the method.

WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL?

This unique method draws on the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the language easily and don't forget it. The method is designed to eliminate the stress which prevents you from relaxing and allowing the brain to work in the way which accepts learning in a seemingly painless, very exciting and highly motivating way.

HOW DO THE COURSES WORK?

During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method Teacher Jane Wightwick, native speaker Mahmoud Gaafar 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 3-5 hours.

WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE?

The Michel Thomas Method will help you kick-start, continue, and flourish in your Egyptian Arabic language learning journey. It is not intended to get you perfectly fluent, but it will get you speaking and using Egyptian Arabic, 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.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?*
Start Egyptian Arabic includes one audio CD. The booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com.


WHERE DO I GO NEXT?
Foundation Egyptian Arabic follows on from the Start course.
