THE METHOD THAT WORKS WITH YOUR BRAIN

'What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' – Michel Thomas

Based on Michel Thomas’s 25 years of extensive research on how the brain best learns and retains information, and perfected over another 25 years of teaching with students, academics, professionals, politicians and Hollywood stars. The highly acclaimed Michel Thomas Method courses provide an accelerated method for foreign language learning that will have you speaking a language in whole sentences right from the start. You will quickly build a solid foundation and gain a deep understanding of the language, and be motivated to carry on due to your phenomenal progress.

HOW DO THE COURSES WORK?

‘All stress inhibits true and effective learning’ – Michel Thomas

During your course, you will join a Michel Thomas Method teacher and two students in live lessons, 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 stress of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary.

Michel Thomas Method courses are the perfect foundation for anyone looking to start their language learning journey, continue their journey, or for those who have failed to learn a language in the past or lack confidence speaking. We offer courses from beginner to high intermediate level.

The courses make it easy and convenient to fit language learning into your daily routine in whatever time you have. Let go of the tensions and anxieties traditionally associated with language learning, and enjoy it.

WHY IS IT SO EFFECTIVE?

You will learn the language naturally, as you learned your own, by listening and speaking, rapidly building your confidence and improving your fluency. The language is broken into essential building blocks which you reconstruct to create sentences, absorbing the vocabulary and grammatical structures almost effortlessly, to say what you want, when you want. You will enjoy the language learning process as it creates real excitement – you’ll speak the language immediately and experience a constant sense of progress through your new understanding.

## Michel Thomas Language Library Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "App does no longer work"
This app no longer works. I reached out to the support team several times, but unfortunately there is no response. I purchased 10 hours of this very intuitive and quite brilliant programme, yet there is no tech support if there is a glitch. If it’s not usable, and if there is no support, you don’t have an app.
-- jeanyjeany, 2025-04-14

### *---- "Amazing course - buggy app"
The course is amazing, this review is for the app!!!

The audio player in the app has several buggs that kill the purpose of using the app. The pause button is often unresponsive and the progress bar not in sync with the recording. While listening to the recording phone screen locks so it becomes impossible to pause unless using a headset. As reported other reviews the headset does not help much because of laggy/unresponsive pausing. The UI is poorly designed to say the least. The player buttons take maybe 10% of the screen space while useless image takes up 90%. It seems that very little consideration went into designing and developing the app. Experienced software develop could fix the mentioned issues in a day… Such a shame that the app does not do justice to the course.
-- PovilasN, 2022-12-20

### **--- "App player not great"
Not a review of the content of the language courses (which are great). The player in the app is just a bit bad….. I use an iPhone 11 and pause/playing from my airpod pros doesn’t always work with this player, which results in not being able to pause in time to do an exercise, then having to open the app, rewind etc. the only way to get the play/pause function to consistently work for me is to have the app open, which is a drain on battery and is a pain when walking around, for example. I’m not a developer but this seems like quite an easy thing to fix? Or just let us have the mp3s so that we can play on a better player?
-- hdnxibdjndd, 2022-11-26

### *---- "App is too badly build it doesn’t work"
This could be good content but the app is so badly build that the lessons don’t load and keep on crashing. So far I have not been able to access more than 20% of the content. I tried to uninstall the app and install it again which unlocked 2 more lessons. But when I tried it a second time the App blocked me completely saying I cannot have the app on more than 5 devices. I only have it on the same one!!! I tried to contact customer support but the website crashes. I emailed them but no reaction. On top of wasting your money on an absolutely frustrating app you get to waste your time on non existing customer support too! Better try anything else from YouTube to Doulingo or Verbling.
-- Tommy101AI, 2022-08-21

### *---- "Ridiculously expensive"
Compared to Duolingo these language apps are way overpriced. I bought Greek, Arabic and Spanish at great expense a few years ago. Michel Thomas only did the Spanish one and there is no doubt he has a gift for teaching. The Greek course also has an excellent teacher but only covers the basics.
Inexplicably the developers deleted the sound files and made the courses unavailable (despite having paid for them) I would be very wary of buying any as likely to be deleted again by the developers. The only advantage of the MT method is that you can listen to them while driving as there are no buttons to press and less interaction. That’s probably not a good thing anyway.
-- Agatha-jane, 2022-05-31

### *---- "The lessons are fantastic, the app is awful!"
Lots of taps to get to the lesson. The audio does not keep the location. Some audio downloads but does not play. Slow on my pro max 13 iPhone. Very poor app.
-- @Cj_miester, 2022-04-13

### **--- "Good course, poor app"
I quite like the learning process but the app itself is very poor. The bulk of the screen is taken up with the logo leaving a very small space for the play / pause button making it difficult to hit - and you’ll want to hit that button a lot. Pausing also seems to sometimes rewind 30sec too. There also surely has to be a better way to link the text to the audio lesson too rather than hit the tiny chapter button and search through 69 pages of a pdf!! The whole app is pretty amateurish.
-- Qw638, 2022-03-07

### *---- "Can’t get in!"
I downloaded the app and listened to the free first lesson. I didn’t set an account up and now it won’t let me register. All I have now is the login page which tells me none of my email addresses are valid so I can’t even try ‘Forgotten’ password.

Tried deleting the app and downloading the app but no luck. 

Stuck at the login page forever!
-- Scott0702, 2022-03-05

### ***-- "Useful but some UX issues"
While it’s very useful to have the audio available in an app, The app struggles with the very necessary requirement to play/pause 

Pros: 
- Really useful to have all of the audio in an app, audio can be downloaded offline so great if you’ve not always got access to data etc
- Great to have the audio and resources available in the same place, resources can be accessed while the audio plays fairly easily.

Improvements: 
- This may be a bug, play/pause doesn’t work as expected while the iPhone is locked. I’ve noticed when you pause from the Lock Screen, it actually skips back 30 seconds which can get confusing. While I can work around the issue by keeping the app open, it means I have to keep the app open at all times.
- Sometimes while inside the app, the play/pause button shows the ‘play’ icon instead of the ‘pause’ icon and the audio bar is frozen in the wrong place. Pressing the play/pause icon still seems to act as it should but not clear where you are.
- Once listening, going back to the list of audio isn’t very easy, the ‘chapters’ button is very low down on the bottom right corner making it really hard to press. 
- It would be useful to have some sort of placeholder to remind you where you’ve got up to if you have to come back.
-- MWilkes90, 2022-02-19

### ****- "Good app"
Reviewing solely the app and not the courses themselves, this app is useful when on the go. However the reason it’s not 5 stars is the app lacks a lot of polish, by which I mean there several buggy parts to the application and the UX could be significantly improved.
