With help from my girlfriend
Advantages: Great method and format
Disadvantages: Mistakes
Great method of teaching and great format with the two students and one teacher. Very enjoyable to learn a language this way.
But ..... there is a number of mistakes in the material. My girlfriend is Spanish and it was great to show off my newly learned phrases when talking to her on the phone or writing them in an e-mail or sms. However it was quite disheartening to hear that some of what I had learned was incorrect. For example, 'reservation' ...
...is simply taught wrongly. And the present perfect for 'escribir' is not 'escribido' but 'escrito'. Obviously my girlfriend has not listened to the full course, so I'm worried that there may be (many more) mistakes. So a great course and I feel I have learned a lot about the beautiful Spanish language, but only with the help of my girlfriend (who by the way is even more beautiful than her language). ...

Revolutionary.
Advantages: Always accessible and achievable, yet engrossing.
Disadvantages: Does not give enough by way of vocabulary for a student.
...one crucial difference: it works. Michel Thomas was a genius, and he has revolutionised language learning with a simplicity, accessibility and plain elegance that literally astounds. As advertised on the CD box (which, incidentally, is rather cumbersome: the size of two DVD boxes stuck together), this course demands no writing, no books, and indeed no homework (not even any mental homework.) Everything takes place while listening to the eight CDs ...
...group of students taught by Michel Thomas on the audio track, and you will soon find yourself correcting their mistakes mentally, and occasionally will be corrected by them! The course is wonderfully easy to get into, and within minutes of the first CD you will be capable of constructing basic sentences in Italian. By the end of this Foundation Course, you will have a fairly comprehensive grounding in the language and its grammar; which can be improved ...

For those of you who haven't experienced the world of 'I'm Sorry I haven't a clue' let me take a few moments to give you some information and history of the show before I dive head first into the specific review for this product.
'I'm sorry I haven't a clue' also called 'clue' for short and sometimes simply 'ISIHAC' is a BBC4 Radio panel game that has been running since 1972. Each week the game has 2 teams comprising of a pair of comedians who are ...
...the 'Chairman'. Since the very begining of this show 'Humphrey Lyttelton', Jazz trumpeter and band leader, had sat in the honoured position as chairman, overseeing and often directing all baffoonery with his very own mildy paced dry wit. Sadly 'Humph' Died in 2008 so the role of 'Chairman' is currently filled by 'Jack Dee' another one for great dry wit!
The show is simply a parody of what at the time were seen as very stuff shirted panel games and ...

Fit for the Queen!
Advantages: plot, characters, style
Disadvantages: /
...I always seem to study the cover, even though I know I shouldn't.Thankfully though, the cover of 'The Queen of New Beginnings' is incredibly attractive. We can see a photo of a woman's figure, draped elegantly with a flowing red dress. She appears to be in a meadow, giving it a sort of tranquil look. It definitely is an inviting cover, one that is sure to attract your attention. After the design is explored, I always turn to the author next. This ...
...With that, I instantly conjured the impression that this was going to be a good read. But was I right? The book tells the story of two characters: Alice Shoemaker and Clayton Miller. Clayton is a comedy writer but his career has hit an all time low after his girlfriend left him for his ex-co-writer who had moved on and made it big in the industry. So Clayton's agent sends him to 'Cuckoo House', his friends' home in the middle of nowhere where Clayton ...
