Foundation Hindi (Learn Hindi with the Michel Thomas Method)

The original no-pens, no-books, no-memorizing course that gets you speaking and understanding Hindi in just a couple of hours. The revolutionary Michel Thomas Method has helped over 5 million people learn a language.

Looking for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of hours? The acclaimed audio-led Michel Thomas Method, endorsed by celebrities, executives and learners worldwide, will deliver the results you want.

Total Hindi is about getting Hindi under your skin instantly, getting you to speak fluently, with all the punch and vigour of a native speaker, as soon as your first few words. Hindi Author Akshay Bakaya says 'It's always been clear to me, as it was to Michel Thomas himself, that learning to speak a new language is like learning to swim or dance - you don't start with books and notes on swimming or dance. You get into the water, or on the dance floor, with a good coach, and get on with it.'

How does it work?
During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method teacher Akshay Bakaya 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 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?
Total Hindi with the Michel Thomas Method includes up to 8 hours of audio on CD. *Note that the first two hours of this course are the same as the Start Hindi 'taster' course.
