Summary
What is the Michel Thomas Method?
The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary.
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 Russian 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 Russian, or those who have completed lessons 1-8 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak Russian 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 2 of the Russian Beginner course, you’ll be able to use the verb endings for 'I' and 'you', translate 'I have', and make polite requests with…
- Verbs: 'to understand', 'to think', 'to find out', 'I want', 'to eat', 'to drink', 'to do', 'you know', 'to be'
- Nouns: 'airport', 'address', 'café', 'things', 'mum', 'plan', 'idea', 'allergy', 'doctor', 'flu', 'computer'
- Phrases: 'I'm hungry/thirsty' (= 'I want to eat/drink')
- Asking politely
- Verb endings for 'I' and 'you'
- Pronouns: 'me', 'you' (object form: 'I understand you')
- Question word: 'how?'
- Social communications: 'how are things?', 'what do you think?', 'what do I do?'
- Translating 'I have': 'by me (there is)'
- Adverb: 'normal/OK'
- Words ending in ' ture' and ' y' are similar in Russian
In the next lesson you’ll be able to speak about the future and use impersonal verbs ('I need', 'I am interested') and the verbs endings for 'he', 'she', and 'we'.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Incorrect Pronunciation
I have listened to many Russian courses and found this one one of the most annoying because of the incorrect pronunciation and the old-school demeanor of the tutor. Also, IMO having two bad students pronouncing the sentences incorrectly and making mistakes does not work at all. I found it so irritating I did not go past minute 20 or so.

Great course, but buy CDs instead
What would have made Michel Thomas Beginner Russian, Lesson 2 better?
I am a great fan of Michel Thomas language courses, so the problem is not the content. However, since language courses are all available on CD it is far better value to buy the CD's load into itunes and then resell the CDs on ebay.
