Gwerman with Michel Thomas

  • Book Rating: 3/5

Mr. Thomas gives very good explanations, and he teaches actively, vs merely throwing information at passive students. Still, these recordings feature him giving actual leasons, with students making mistakes and him correcting them. I found it extremely boring. In fact, by the third recording, I found myself dreading listening to another cd. I quit after the sixth cd, unable to take the boredom any longer.
