Michel Thomas or Nihongo No Mori?
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2019 2:09 am
I just finished Pimsleur level 5 (thank you public library!), but my reading is still ahead of my listening.
In addition to my plan of watching TV shows and Anki-ing unknown words, I want to have some sort of lessons on the go. The library has Michel Thomas Advanced and I have requested it, but in the meantime I have been working with the Nihongo No Mori N3 videos on Youtube.
With Nihongo No Mori, I like the fact that I'm getting listening comprehension, reading comprehension (from the subs) and grammar lessons all at the same time, but I worry that maybe my understanding of the grammar would benefit from instruction in English.
Does anyone have any idea of how the topics covered in the Michael Thomas course would compare with those of Pimsleur 5 and Nihongo No Mori N3? Should I do both of these programmes?
Thanks!
