Hello,
I have Rapid Italian 1, I have used it on a casual basis and have some very good results and plan to buy number 2 by the end of this month, how ever on there website it states that there is going to be a third, fourth and fith volumes but I tried emailing the company for information but no reply, and I did a search and found berlitz have the exact product but with a berlitz sticker on it? does any one have any info on the earworms programes/company, I was going to go to the language show in march and theres another one at the end of october http://www.thelanguageshow.co.uk/ in London in Olympia it will be a shame if they dont bring out 3,4,5 because I think there good programes and I have learnt alot. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I went to the Language show in London at the end of October, and I asked at the Berlitz stand when they would update their range i.e. from unit 2 and they told me they are going to release unit 3 next July and they plan to bring out one every year. For me that is too long to wait and the show last year I spoke to the M.D and he said they where going to bring out 3 and 4 this year, however lady said they some problems and so its being delayed

Are the Earworms programs any good? I saw them on the stand last year but was quite skeptical about how good
they actually could be... How was the show in generally actually? I was gutted I wouldn't get to go this year! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have used two of he Earworms courses (two volumes for French and one volume for Chinese) and they were enjoyable to listen to, and my retention level was high afterwards The technique, then, was very effective, and I am sure there is certainly a lot of potential there. However, they were also very very short. If there were a series of 10 volumes for each language they would probably be superb. As it was, with each of the courses it felt like I was just settling into it when it came to an end. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

There are decent length audio samples at audible.com:
Earworms on Audible (See the green bar under the images) The "Vol 1 & 2" editions don't seem to work. And if you click into the description pages and scroll down, you can link to the transcript book in pdf. I think for some people, the background "music" would drive them batty. Do they use the same music track throughout? Edited by TerryW on 09 November 2009 at 12:21am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Why did you not use the 2nd volume of Chinese? No need to tell me, I know :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Your second line is pretty cryptic. But, I didn't use the 2nd volume of chinese because I don't own it. In fact, I won't bother with any more earworms at all, unless or until there is a much longer set of volumes. There is simply too little in each of them for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

They sound quite interesting. I would give them a try if I didn't already have a load of other courses already lined up. 1 person has voted this message useful |
