Michel Thomas taught many famous people in his time different languages like German and French. After the war, it took him about 25 years to devolop this wonderful system. In the beginning, this system was not available to the public. Later on the courses were given to the public.The instructor of this course took the same Michel Thomas courses to learn the German language. After completing the courses in a months’ time, he travelled to Germany and lived there for about 13 years. He had no problems with the language but there were a few things that he needed to add to the Michel Thomas system while he was in Germany. Those few things have been added to these current courses presented here. We wish you success exploring the German language!Great IT Courses Course Code: 1s1
