I listened to his Spanish beginners course a few weeks before visiting Spain and successfully talked myself onto a bus I shouldn't have been on in Spanish. I'm now mostly fluent but would never have gotten over my childhood hatred of learning languages without him. Thanks Michel. RIP X
If anyone is interested in learning Spanish I highly recommend comparing the above with ProSpanish[0][1]. It aims to get you conversational in Spanish very quickly. There are some of the videos for free on youtube[2].

Watch the BBC documentary about him where he teaches the worst kids in a school french in a few weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0w_uYPAQic
