Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you can now be learning a new language at the same time! Think how much more productive jogging, driving, ironing or even having a bath could become! earworms mbt® Rapid Languages is the first language course to get your toe tapping while you learn French.
Music is the Key
The idea is as simple as it is old. Before the age of writing, ancient historical events were recorded in verse and song form for easy memorisation. In his book 'Songlines', Bruce Chatwin describes how the Australian Aborigines were able to navigate their way across hundreds of miles of desert to their ancestral hunting grounds without maps. And how? The extensive lyrics of their traditional songs were exact descriptions of the routes!
Rhythm and words i.e. song and verse have always been a very powerful memory aid, and this is supported by recent scientific research. The advertising industry knows only too well how powerful music can be in getting the message across with brainwashing-like jingles and soundbites.
It really works!
Developed and used over years in the classroom, earworms mbt® Rapid Languages has shown phenomenal success. In tests pupils using this technique regularly get average marks of over 90 % compared to less than 50 % with conventional book based learning.
The Rapid Languages series
This volume deals with the essentials for your visit abroad. It looks at typical situations: taking a taxi, at the hotel, at the restaurant, making requests, polite phrases, finding your way, numbers, dealing with problems and so on.
Rapid French Volume 2 will have you talking about yourself and others, past, present and future, likes and dislikes and general conversational items. The themes follow closely the Common European Framework for language learning a recognised benchmark of language proficiency and the emphasis is constantly on usefulness to the learner.
Memory Hooks
The accompanying booklet contains all the text on the App, both English and target language, plus the sounds of the words. An additional aid to learning 'memory hooks' and comments to assist your memorisation and understanding can be found on the website under 'Extras'. These complement the App and are really worth checking out. Memory hooks are for example, if you want to memorise the Italian term 'my name is' = 'mi chiamo', imagine 'my name is Micky Armo' - and you will never forget.
How to use earworms: Don't think, just listen!
Sit back, relax and groove along to the melodies without trying to listen too hard. Treat them as songs you hear on the radio. Our recommendation is that you familiarise yourself with the written words in the booklet - at least the first time you listen. After listening several times, playfully test yourself - cover up the English side of the phrase book and see how many words and phrases you remember!

Support is responsive but the app outs near to useless, just a music song that plays, the selector to move forward just sends you to a non existent web page. It is to be fixed but not at present, don't bother if you have a Samsung as it'll not work.

Whilst the content of the app is good, the page could not be displayed screen showed up after a while for no reason in between each lesson. This is massively frustrating as the only way to get rid of it is to press the back button. Being that this is such an expensive app I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed after so many years of the problem!

I found the audio content great. However the app is of poor quality. After choosing a chapter (lets say chapter 3), if you listen past that chapter the view changes to a 'Webpage not available' screen where is says 'file:///android_assets/chapters.htm04' is not found. The only way to get rid of this, or pause the audo, is to hit the back button. However this stops (NOT pauses) the audio so if you're half way through a chapter, you need start from the beginning again. How this app passed QA at Earworms is beyond me. It's a real shame because the content is actually quite good. Please fix ASAP!
