Re: Michel Thomas
Oh, thank goodness others feel the same way about Mr Thomas. I was beginning to think that it was a combination of my advanced years and sheer laziness. I do watch the news in Spanish all the time but wondered if it was the words and the pictures together that made sense. There is one newsreader, whose name I forget, who is extraordinarily understandable. I think that he was 'newsreader of the year' - his pronunciation is excellent and he does not read the news as if he was a machine gun in full spate. There is hope then.

Watching the news is fine, but the problem is the vocabulary tends to be on certain subjects eg politics, employment, international affairs, sport etc, and you don't pick up the language used in normal conversations. There are certain newsreaders (nearly always female) who still lose me within seconds as they speak so rapidly. |

Re: Michel Thomas
The Spanish version of Who wants to be a Millionaire is brilliant for learning Spanish. The questions and answers are written down and repeated over and over. Good fun as well. One question some time back (asked to an old lady who didn't have a clue) was "¿Dónde encontrar el punto G?". Absolutely hilarious, she had to ask the audience.:rofl:
