A lively audiobook

The enjoyable to and fro of English and German, along with music makes this ideal for workout time.
Great for the treadmill.

Very effective

I listened to this, plus Vol. 2, before a short trip to Austria, and found it very effective. I have 'O' level German from hundreds of years ago, but have forgotten most of it. This was a useful reminder of vocabulary and essential sentence structure.

Pleasantly suprised

I have to admit that I am pleasantly suprised as to how much I am actually enjoying Vol 1. I downloaded it to my Sony Ericsson phone and found the sound quality to be crystal clear. This is the first German course that I have continued with plus it makes my journey to and from work fly by. I will definately be purchasing Vol 2.

Best language app ever!!

I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn any language! The back and forth role play keeps you engaged and helps explain things about the format of the language. The music fits perfectly and keeps it upbeat, but relaxing, so you can play it in the background. It really starts to stick. Love it!

Relax and forget that your're learning!

I never did German at school, but I intend to live out there eventually, so needed to learn the language from scratch. I feel so fortunate to have found this, as it does everything it promises to do. It has really tuned my ear in to the language, and by playing it in the background as I do household chores or whilst driving, with vrtually no effort, I have begun to understand and say some very useful sentences and phrases. My German speaking friends have commented that my pronunciation is very authentic, too. A real find! I can't wait for Volume 2.

Used skills learnt in Germany and was successful

Have tried several CD language systems to varying degrees of success but this is the best i have every used. Whilst it will not turn you into a fluent German speaker, it does give the confidence to use the language when with Germanic speakers.

Useful idea

Some useful phrases and the ability to here the same phrase repeated several times is invaluable. I’ve actually got vol.2 of this as well, and the pronunciation on that is clearer than on parts of volume 1. Given that “ihn”, “ihm” and “ihnen” mean different things, it’s vital that the ends of words are enunciated clearly.

Learning German

Like any of the language courses, you get out what you put in. This course uses a music background with a native and English speaker going over German phrases and words. The course tends to provide a sentence, in English, and then in German and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. The course is similar to the other earworms courses, and if you liked one of the others I imagine you'll ; like this one.



It's not a bad idea, although the tunes are not that great, I find that I can recall some of the sentences. A good supplement for learning, or for a quick fix before heading on holiday but it is not a good standalone course.
