First, let me say that I am big fan of Michel Thomas and his method. I was very pleased with his Advanced French course and when I saw the "booster" product available, I bought it right away.I believe that his company suggests this product for between Intermediate and Advanced learners which I feel is misplaced. A Beginner to Intermediate student will find this program very difficult and frustrating.Having taken Michel Thomas's Advanced course, I found much of the Booster program to be challenging to keep up with. But, it is crammed with useful phrases and idiomatic expressions that would be difficult to pick up through normal "text book" study.A couple of things to consider before purchasing the Booster Program:- This is a fast-paced drill, more demanding than the more easily paced exchange that you may be familiar with as the style of the Michel Thomas products.- You may find yourself needing a pause button, which is a bit annoying, but the benefit is that there is more material crammed in.- Because the CDs consists of only Michel Thomas "drilling" you, much of his charm is lost as compared to when he is engaged with the students who appear on the general course levels.- The product should contain, but doesn't, a printed vocabulary list as it isn't always easy to remember or grasp the spelling of certain words.In summary, I think this is a good product and a worthwhile addition to any serious French student's library.
I have the 10 CD beginner set, which I finished, the 5 CD advanced (I only went through the first CD), and this 2 CD set. I finished the first CD of this 2 CD set. It is far more difficult than the first 10 CDs. It does not have the two students and crams a lot of information. It is good information, but it is not for the ears of a beginner or borderline intermediate student. The pace is good for someone who is rather advanced. You might be better off doing the 5 CD advanced set and then this CD. When you do this CD set. Listen to each track several times.That's the way to retain the information on this CD. Michel should made this into a 4 CD set and elaborated more on what's in these CDs. People still are trying to train their ears in the language. I loved the 10 CD set and the 5 CD set is pretty awesome. I am glad I bought this 2 CD set, but it is going to be quite a challenge for me, so I might not recommend it to a beginner unless the person can go over the stuff with patience.
Unfortunately, the material covered in Language Booster is the same as that of Language Builder, which I have already used. I have been learning French with Michel Thomas' Foundation Course and the Advanced Course including the Review of his Advanced Course which are much more methodical than this one. Generally Michel Thomas is skilled at providing short explanations and examples and then structures the questions so that the learner gradually absorbs the grammar and idiom. Although, he continues to do this on the Booster CDs, he is less methodical and there are times when he answers his own questions, and the learner is not given the time to use the pause botton to think through the answer, as he recommends, before he provides it.
Some old geezer with emphysema drilling you on various phrases. He is very clearly not a native speaker of French. The phrases themselves are OK, but I don't know who would benefit from this CD. Too much for the beginner, too simple for advanced . The accent is annoying, vaguely like being molested by one's uncle.
