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 Russian.
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 Russian 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!

The interface keeps jamming up, can't switch between chapters and the links are dead? Nearly £8 for this? Did they not check before release?

I was in st pete recently and had some friends who are native speakers look at the app and the words and spellings were wrong.. Waste of money if all it's teaching is junk

I've always wanted a fast and fun way to learn a language, too bad I can't run it in background, I'd like to listen to it at the gym while recording my workout on apps like jefit without having to restart the lesson.

A great, high quality app. I wouldn't waste my time with any other language learning app. The music and dialog gets stuck in your head which is good!

I've been wanting to learn another language for a while but I've never been able to find the time. But recently I've found myself doing a daily four-hour commute and had to find something to fill the time. The presentation of this app is clean and tidy. The production values are high. The scripted dialog of the tutorials are light-hearted without being difficult to listen to over and over again. Worth the money. I'm looking forward to Vol. 2 :)

Navigation stuffs up all the time and the links are broken between tracks. Needs dramatic changes. Would be a great app if it worked.
