Start Japanese New Edition (Learn Japanese with the Michel Thomas Method)

'The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own. You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it...

WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL?
'What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' - Michel Thomas

Before there was machine learning, there was Michel Thomas. For over 50 years he worked on decoding languages by breaking them down into their most essential component parts.

This unique method draws on the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the language easily and don't forget it.
