nantes wugoocites weostane76sirebas shirt MICHEL THOMAS FRENCH (BASIC) COURSE, 8 CDs TRANSCRIPT. This is an approximate transcript of the course, since Michel often changed his mind in the middle of a sentence to be translated, or adapted his sentences for the students. The booklet that accompanied Michel's courses was wholly inadequate, so Thave written this transcript. Ihave found it useful, so maybe other people will, too. Naturally, it would be foolish to try to learn the language using this transcript, without buying the recordings. Note that English is my native language, so I don't guarantee that there are no mistakes. Tracks and track times in the recording are shown in brackets.
