The original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. You' ll stick with it because you' ll love it. * Pick up Korean naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress* Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing* Build up your Korean in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself* Progress to the full FoundationKoreancourse with confidence in the method. WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL? ' What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don' t forget. ' - Michel Thomas Before there was machine learning, there was Michel Thomas. For over 50 years he worked on decoding languages by breaking them down into their most essential component parts. These ' building blocks' are introduced to the learner sequentially in such a way that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. This unique method draws on the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the language easily and don' t forget it. The method is designed to eliminate the stress which prevents you from relaxing and allowing the brain to work in the way which accepts learning in a seemingly painless, very exciting and highly motivating way. HOW DO THE COURSES WORK? ' All stress inhibits true and effective learning' - Michel Thomas During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method Teachers Jieun Kiaer and Derek Driggs 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 simple phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 3-5 hours. WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE? ' I am t
' The thrill is that you' re actually figuring it out on your own. You' re engaging with another language, not just parroting it. . .
