Looking for a course to rapidly improve your Japanese and fit in with your busy lifestyle? Already completed Michel Thomas Total Japanese? Take your Japanese to the next level with this acclaimed Perfect Japanese intermediate course, the perfect follow-on to the Michel Thomas Method Total Course.

How does it work?
During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method teachers Helen Gilhooly, Niamh Kelly 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 complex phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or memorizing. You learn through your own language, so there’s no stress, and no anxiety. You’ll stick with it because you’ll love it.

Why is the method so successful?
The Michel Thomas Method was perfected over 50 years by celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. This unique method works with your brain and draws on the principles of instructional psychology. Knowledge is structured and organised so that you assimilate the language easily and don’t forget it. The method breaks down the language into building blocks that are introduced sequentially in such a way that you create your response and move on to ever-more-complex sentences. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization, so you progress rapidly.

What’s in the Course?
Perfect Japanese with the Michel Thomas Method includes up to 5 hours of audio on CD and a practice CD-ROM with interactive activities and assessment which should be done after the course and as a means of review.

*Note that this course contains the same learning as the previously entitled Advanced course and previous editions of the Perfect Course. The CD-ROM is a new addition.

Learn anywhere
Don’t be tied to chunky books or your computer, Michel Thomas Method audio courses let you learn whenever you want: at home, in your car, or on the move with your MP3 player.

Where do I go next?
Insider’s Japanese phase 2 Michel Thomas course will be available soon. It is the ideal package for intermediate learners looking to improve their conversational Japanese, grammar and vocabulary in authentic contexts. Please check back regularly.
