Earworms: Language Learning

I love love love this learning method! Unlike one other music-enhanced audiobook that just rattled off a bunch of action words, Andrew and Filomena walk you through practical phrases, helping you to piece the words together until you have a sentence. They have great voices, and it's cute how they sound like they're enjoying the gelato part. These are phrases I'll definitely use (except for the non parlo Italiano, as I WILL know some Italian!). One particularly neat aspects is that I'll wake up some mornings with a phrase in my head that's imprinted without me even having to work at it. I highly recommend this program for fun, easy learning! I’m just starting volume 2. Also, the customer service was amazing. Maria gave me Quick answers and was so personable . One tip is to download all the tracks so it will keep playing after the phone goes to sleep.

I had the best customer service experience with Stephanie from Earworms. I purchased the online version and couldn’t figure out how to get it to work on my phone. (I’m 67 and a little technology challenged lol). I sent an email not expecting much and received a personal reply from Stephanie that quickly and cordially resolved my issue. We had 3 email exchanges back and forth and I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to not only have a quick solution but handled by someone that obviously cares about doing great work and was an outstanding ambassador for the company she works for. Very impressive, prompt, professional and personal service. Outstanding!

I purchased the Spanish Eu. set and was immediately impressed with the quality of the audio tracks. This program ingrains fundamental phrases in your memory using music, allowing you to speak naturally and accurately by automatically drawing upon what you’ve learned. Because of this, I think it would be best to use these tracks in conjunction with another application to learn grammatical principles. After purchasing, despite my satisfaction with the tracks themselves, I was displeased with frequent crashing of the app. When I contacted customer support about this issue, I received a prompt reply and a complimentary download of the tracks I had purchased in .MP3 form so that I could continue learning uninterrupted while the issue is being resolved. I strongly suggest using this program, whether you try the app or buy tracks from their online website—the latter may be best until an update is released.
