Foundation French New Edition - Learn French With The Michel Thomas Method - Beginner French Audio..

Foundation French New Edition is a beginner French audio course that teaches through the Michel Thomas Method. It is presented as a convenient option designed to fit around everyday life, using a no-books, no-homework approach that focuses on listening and speaking rather than writing or memorising.

The course places you in a live lesson with Michel Thomas and two students, allowing you to learn from both their successes and mistakes. You participate as the third student, constructing phrases by listening and thinking through answers. The method introduces language “building blocks” in sequence, with the aim of helping you form your own sentences and develop confidence in basic French.
