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 Spanish.
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 Spanish 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!

Don't bother with this app it's a rip off - better to buy their mp3s as app only has 1 song.

Content very enjoyable, but annoying problem with app. Samsung Galaxy S4 GT19505 Android 5.0.1. Can't skip sub-headings within chapters. Have to listen to each chapter from beginning to catch up to last pause.

While the concept is great and I am able to get some benefit, there are lots of glitches on my Galaxy S4 However the developer was a big help and recommended I use the mp3 version, which works quite well on all platforms. It can only be downloaded from their website.

This is really fun to listen to and I found myself "singing" along. It works really well, I really feel like I will be able to memorize the whole thing after a few dozen times listening to it. There are some bugs with the interface, which is disappointing on a $10.00 app. The content and concept are great, but I'm only giving four stars until they fix the interface. That being said, even with the interface problems, I would still buy Vol. 2 if they put it up.

Content great. But website down contributes to a very bad user experience. Learning seriously from the app and suddenly cannot use the app at all. Unreliable.
