Well I've had a listen to the Spanish vol. 1 sample and I found it hilarious!!
"Muy bien!"
"That means very good doesn't it?"
"Muy Bien!!"
LOL   I'm not sure I could listen to that for hours...but I see the point. Personally I find that language sticks in my
head enough without the music behind it. Maybe higher levels would be better for me because I'm already
surrounded by the language.

They seem to have finally brought out the next volume, but it's not called volume 3, it's
called "Verb and Vocab booster". Maybe they have decided to change the approach. I have
ordered it from Amazon.co.uk, but it is "temporarily out of stock" even though it's
release date was the 1st of June. I think they haven't actually met their release date.

I will try to let you know what it's like when I finally get it.

I have Earworms 1 & 2 in German and now in French. I have found them helpful, and
excellent value for money.

As far as future volumes, the next one "Verb and Vocab booster" is now listed in
Amazon.co.uk, said to have been released on 1 June 2011. I ordered it, but it is
"Temporarily out of stock". Either it has been extremely popular, or Berlitz have missed
their release date.

Even though they don't go very far, they are great for beginners, though probably not as
miraculous as they claim. As to the music, each track is different. It is cheesy, but
does help make it easier to listen to than other audio programmes.
