Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: My brain must have run out of anchors Comment: Perhaps I just don't learn this way. The music did nothing for me, and I can't think of any phrases "anchored into my long term memory". Perhaps I don't play it enough. The CD is fine if you want to learn stock phrases like "I would like to order...", "Have you got..." "Is there...." but what do you do when someone responds in German. I want to learn German so I can ask, understand the answer and respond. It will help you "get by" but not to have a conversation - go for broke and get Michel Thomas instead. Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the money at all. Comment: I bought both rapid French and rapid German based on the great reviews they seemed to have received but I am really disappointed. I do not feel that they have enough information at all to give the user a good basis of either language. You will come away having learnt a few phrases e.g. how to order a cup of tea or a bottle of wine, but if someone is going to ask you something back in French or German you are going to have no idea what they are talking to you about. These are basically CD's of a few phrases, i'm sure the method is a good one, but the amount of information on each CD is really limited. They will not even really give you enough of the language for tourist needs. I feel that if you spent 3 hours looking up phrases in a language dictionary or even on Alta Vista Babel Fish you would be able to put together more phrases than are contained on these CD's and be able to teach yourself more of the language than the CD's will. They are not worth the money in my opinion. Customer Rating: Summary: Really pleased, speaking German in no time! Comment: I purchased this CD on a bit of a whim, not 100% what to expect but very pleasantly surprised! This product really works and I'd recommend to anyone! The two presenters are easy to listen to and present the language in a structured and logical way making your introduction and first steps to learning German with EarWorms very quick and fun. Supported by some really quite good music I found myself talking to my girlfriend (who speaks German) in no time at all! Well worth a purchase, money well spent and amazon have it at a great price. Auf Wiedersehen! Customer Rating: Summary: Learn while doing other stuff... Comment: I enjoyed learning from the Rapid Chinese CD a few months back and so knew what to expect when this arrived. This is a very similar presentation, with the same 10 track titles: I would like...; To order; Have you ...?; To the airport; Numbers; days & times; Is there ...?; Directions; Where, when & what time?; Problems, problems!; and Do you speak English? In fact they have mostly the same phrases. Ordering a bottle of wine somehow seems more natural for German that it did for Chinese! The way it works is there is a native German-speaking woman and a native English-speaking man. The English comes first then the German. As the track titles above suggest the 10 lessons cover useful phrase book stuff, at the most basic level. All the time there is a music track playing - easy to listen to. I do not know if the music helps memorizing the sentences but it does make the CD easy to have on in the background while working or doing other things. There is a handy 20 page booklet with the CD, which shows all the phrases on the CD, as well as describing the theory behind the learning method. I did 'O' level German at school, which seemed to be all about learning the 16 words for "the". Thankfully not a mention of that here: ein/eine/einen/zum/zu/der/das/die/etc. are all introduced in context without being pointed out. After my German exam (I passed by the way) all I could speak in German was gutentag and "der das die die, dem dem den den", which does not get you very far. Listening to this CD course, in every school lesson, would have made a lot more sense. And we could have played cards while doing it. (Sadly the only class we actually got away with playing cards in was sociology.) If we are looking for downsides the CDs are maybe a bit pricey, and are quite passive: no quizzes or chances for active usage of the language. But that is fine, it would not be easy to have on in the background if it was like that. Just do not expect this can be your only tool to learn the language. Overall I like these EarWorms CDs and they will be my first choice when I want to learn the basics of a new language. Customer Rating: Summary: The perfect start to learning a new language - Comment: I love my earworms German CD. I listen to it when I am driving and it's brilliant!! I also play it on my MP3 player whilst in the gym - the perfect combination - getting fit and learning at the same time. I have never learned well aurally, In one ear and out the other, but this seems to have stimulated a new learning style I never thought I would cope with, I think that it will in fact help in many other ways too. I have noticed a difference in my own job of training. I can remember peoples names so much better now. I definitely think it's triggered something in my brain. It is quite amazing that when the phrases come up in every day English, the German equivalent pops into my head at the same time - like 'Warum nicht' 'Why not' and the pronunciation seems to come automatically. I can actually hear the voices on the tape. The Phrase book that comes with the CD is also very helpful. I carry it around in my handbag, it helps to see the words as well. I thought I might get fed up with the music and the voices, but in fact you just become even more familiar with them as time goes by. Sort of as if you actually have got to know them personally. I look foward to buying the Volume 2 - I will wait and continue to chirp along with my volume 1 - thinking I am better than I really am!! My only concern is what I will do once I have mastered both CD's - what sort of learning should I go on to from there.
