Speak French with Michel Thomas is an amazing audio lesson plan. Although I knew no French when I began listening to this in my car, I knew over 2,000 words and phrases by the end of a six hour trip! And with the easy to learn method of Michel, I retained this new language to use it even a month later. His method requires no writing, no books, no memorization. He is a genius languages teacher in my opinion and I am eager to begin the more advanced set of CD's. I wish I had had this wonderful method when I was plodding away with Spanish in school. This is a wonderful way to learn a language, like a child learns his or her fisrt language, by listening and repeating. I am so glad I discovered this set.

BASIC LANGUAGE DVD COURSES FROM MASTERVISION:These new DVD's are an innovative way of learning a foreign language. Packaged with two different languages on each of five DVD's, you can select which ones to attempt first. The graphics are unsophistocated and help you have something to see to make the words "stick" in your mind. And the visuals continued to play in my mind, helping me to continue practicing the language after I finished each session of watching. With a few minutes of dedicaiton and practice each day, you could learn any of these languages quite easily. With over a thousand words and phrases in two different languages on each DVD, these are a very good value. They are very handy to have and a nice way to conquer a new language without the expense or time of going to class or paying a tutor. Really a good series for a serious student or for traveling to a new country. Use them at home or in your computer, or watch them for a quick emergency course on the long plane flight to a new adventure. Click here to purchase .

Now, with the audio program set from the foremost company for motivational listening , Nightingale-Conant Corporation which he founded, you can hear this set, which compiles the best of his self-improvement methods into twelve fascinating listening periods. In his grandfatherly, gentle voice he teaches the listener how to be "constructively discontented" and to use "intelligent objectivity" and gives "ideas and actions that will help you achieve personal happiness and fulfillment and to become the leader in whatever field you choose.

View From the Top by Zig Ziglar, known as one of the foremost and upbeat motivational speakers, is at his best in this set of audio recordings. He'll get you to be positive in your self talk, deeply committed to your goals, and highly motivated to create your Mission Statement, or game plan. He helps you identify the direction you should take by asking these questions:

"What am I so excited about I cannot keep my mouth shut about it?... What do you love to do, say, write, peak about?... What are your talents and how you enjoy spending your time? What do you want your eulogy to be? ... YOU have to be excited about it."

Write goals with specific date (Dream Sheets to fill out are in the accompanying workbook.) Goals should be out of reach but not our of site.

Some of his messages of encouragement include:"obstacles become just pebbles on beach." "Go as far as you can see and then you'll be able to see farther."

Discipline will make the difference... you must follow through. Keep commitments no matter what. Exceptions destroy your dreams, like a reformed alcoholic's one drink.

Self-talk is very important The faith and upbeat message of hope are excellent for those who have poor self-image or no hope. Some of the important

Action Steps Ziglar emphasizes for success are:

Make a list of everyone who has helped you in your life and say thank you.

Make a list of those who have wronged you and forgive them. If you cannot or should not get in touch with them write a letter saying all that you feel, and then burn the letter and say I forgive you.

If you like motivational messages, Ziglar is among the BEST! Available from Nightingale-Conant.
