شاید برایتان جالب باشد که چینی را توسط کسی یاد بگیرید که ستارگان هالیود مانند وودی آلن و اما تامپسون برای شرکت در کلاسهای خصوصی اوبیش از 18000 پوند میپرداختند.
میشل توماس که به بیش از 10 زبان مختلف مسلط بود، تنها در عرض سه روز یک زبان جدید را به ستارگان سینما آموزش میداد!
میشل توماس یهودی، متولد 1914 در لهستان، در جوانی به آلمان فرستاده میشود، سپس به شهر وین در اتریش میرود. پس از اشغال اتریش توسط آلمانها به فرانسه میگریزد وپس از تحصیل روانشناسی به حزب مقاومت فرانسه میپیوندد. او مدتهای زیادی در اردوگاههای اسیران جنگی اسیر بوده و توسط گشتاپو به جهت فرارهایش شکنجه شده است.
در این زندگی پر فراز نشیب او با زبانها و فرهنگهای مختلفی آشنا میشود، به طوریکه به خاطر آموزش زبان به ارتشیان آمریکا در فرانسه، درسال 1994 نامزد مدال ستاره نقره ای میشود.
او میگوید: « زندگی در دوران اسارت بسیار سخت بود اما من خودم را سرگرم میکردم.»
پس از جنگ در سال 1947، وی به لس آنجلس رفته و مرکز آموزش زبان میشل توماس را تاسیس میکند و بعد از 50 سال آموزش زبان به علت سکته قلبی در سال 2005 از دنیا میرود.
« چیزی به نام دانش آموز ضعیف نداریم، این معلمها هستند که ضعیفند! »
این شعار این موسسه آموزشی است. برای یادگیری زبان به این روش شما نیاز به هیچ کتابی ندارید، نه بخاطر سپردن و نه تکلیف خانه!
برای استفاده از این دوره، شما باید تا حدی به زبان انگلیسی مسلط باشید تا بتوانید همراه دو دانشجوی دیگر در کلاس مجازی میشل توماس شرکت کنید. او با استفاده از روشهای روانشناسی و با استفاده از شباهتهای مکالمات انگلیسی و چینی ، به دانشجویان خود این توانایی را میدهد که جملاتی را که نمیدانند، یا فکر میکنند نمیدانند را حدس بزنند.
Foundation Course دوره آموزش مبتدیان است که پس از اتمام این دوره هشت ساعته، قادر خواهید بود در موقعیتهای مختلف به چینی صحبت کنید و نیاز خود را برآورده سازید.

To form a negative, put bù = ‘no, not’ in front of the verb
Add hen to fulfil the two-syllable meter rule (also means ‘very’)
Greetings ni hao and ni hao ma (‘hello’ = ‘you good’, ‘how are you’ = ‘you good (question)’
In Chinese the character/word has the same form for both individual and plural form

Dr Goodman teaches and practises in the United States.
