I am the architect who builds the house; it's up to you to decorate it. - Michel Thomas

Michel Thomas, the preeminent language teacher, always said that learners start by mastering basic structures (as in his Foundation and Intermediate courses), which provide the bare walls of the house, but that it was up to us, the learners, to decorate it in our own personal way. Insider's French reflects Michel Thomas's 'Phase two' courses, which were offered at his New York language school and focused on building the language and skills to use language confidently in authentic contexts - the tools with which to decorate their houses.

Insider's French includes:

Twenty authentic conversations around a comprehensive range of subjects that reflect contemporary French culture

Language plus: conversation strategies, pronunciation, and intonation to help learners express themselves naturally

Listening and speaking practice to help learners progress to the next level

Cultural insights into the unspoken rules of the language
