(More customer reviews)I am only half way through this, but I can tell that this is another masterpiece by Michel Thomas (may he rest in peace).
With his warm, rich and rasping voice, it's like you are a child again, listening to your grandfather regaling you with stories from long ago. A joy to listen to! As Michel Thomas says himself at the beginning of the recording, "I'm happy to be here, I'm happy to be back with you" - yes, we are happy to be back too!
The pace of this 4 CD pack is much faster than the original 8 CD set, but this is to be expected as the listener is at a more advanced stage. One feature that improves on the first set is that the structure of the lessons are listed for each track on each CD.
Here's an overview of the lessons:
CD 1: overview of present, subjunctive, imperative
CD 2: future, conditional, simple past, "The diving past" - (I have spoken)
CD 3: "would haves", more simple past, "was-ings" - (I was going)
CD 4: past subjunctive, "would haves"
The reason why I don't use all the right gramatical names is that that's not the way MT works. He tells you how to say the things with his own unique style.
Remember to "change tracks" and that the "go-gos" become "ga-gas" in the imperative!
Just as awesome as the 8 CD set for MT fans who want to go (a good few steps) further. 5 stars.

"This recording follows on from the first 8-hour, all-audio course which has taken the language-learning world by storm. With no books, no memorising and no homework, Michel Thomas teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using the method he has perfected over the last 50 years, he now shares his secret with the world - and 'makes it simple." - "Sunday Times". "In only a matter of hours, he teaches what it takes years to cover by conventional methods, giving his students a comprehensive working knowledge of the language - all the tenses and all three moods are taught and practised; the position of pronouns is made easy, and Michel spends some time on the problems of translation, instilling in the students 'an enhanced awareness of their own language'. And he does all this effortlessly, 'effectively and easily'." - "Daily Star". By the end of the Advanced course Michel has covered all the structures and tenses of 'A' level and beyond. Grammar points and tenses only touched upon in the first 8-hour course are expanded to give the student a complete knowledge of the structure of the entire language.He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and Spanish and gives his students the tools to guess the words they do not know, or think they do not know. Join two students as they learn in real time. Become the third member of the class and experience the excitement of learning a language as if by magic!
