Michel Thomas Foundation Portuguese
£80
Nine hours of structured learning takes you from the basic building blocks of the Portuguese language to creating your own sentences.
Listen as two students with no previous knowledge of the language are guided through the foundations of the language and join in as the third student in the class. Pause and respond when prompted to start to put your speaking skills into practice. The courses are unscripted: you hear the students’ real progression from absolute beginners to confident speakers – including their mistakes and the teacher’s corrections. You’ll learn in small, manageable steps, building your ability to produce ever more complicated sentences.
You will start with common and loan words, giving you a substantial starting vocabulary within your first hours of learning. By the end of the course, you will be confidently formulating sentences in the present, future and past tenses.
This course is taught by Virginia Catmur according to the principles of the Michel Thomas method. Virginia Catmur grew up in a multilingual environment, and used her language skills working as a freelancer for various publishers. In early 2002 she met Michel Thomas while working for Hodder & Stoughton as a language editor – working alongside Michel in the studio, she edited his courses, and then managed the roll-out of the ‘post-Michel’ languages, commissioning and training other teachers who were similarly convinced by his Method.
