Learning French with a Polish accent

I have completed a course in the French language using three CD box sets by Michel Thomas. It was one of the most rewarding learning experiences of my life. Michel Thomas (Polish) is an amazing fella. He was tortured by the Nazis during WWII, joined the French resistance and worked with American intelligence where he gathered Nazi membership cards which were successfully used as evidence in subsequent war crime tribunals. He then went to America and set up a string of language schools. I can't help thinking that this would be great material for a film.

He passed away in 2005 leaving the aforementioned CD box sets as his legacy so that his incredible teaching methods will never be lost. It is a great priveledge to learn with such a master.

I cannot recommend him enough to anybody considering learning a foreign language. Here's an mp3 audio clip which I think illustrates his brilliance perfectly.
