- an additional Review CD. All the main teaching points have been lifted from the Foundation (8-hour) course & are contained on just 2 CDs. The student hears Michel teaching a specific point there is a pause which allows time for the student to give his/her response to Michels prompt followed by Michel giving the correct response. If the student has struggled or given an incorrect answer s/he can use the index in the accompanying booklet to locate the area of the main course where the specific language point was being taught in depth & can return to the main course to work through the relevant section again quickly & efficiently. It can also be used very successfully by those coming back to the course after a lapse of time either to check how much they have retained or as a quick revision tool. Only Michels words & phrases are on the new CD so the course is summarised succinctly & with a new snappy pace. Finally the new edition is repackaged with an up-to-the minute cover treatment & robust DVD-type cases inside a rigid card slip case to ensure that the CDs remain damage-free & are easy to access & use.
