iPod & MP3 Earworms Rapid French Volume 2 Review
November 18, 2011 by la-andrea · Leave a Comment
An independent language course review by Andrea Lainé
The Earworms Rapid French Volume 2 downloadable version, is the follow-on audio language course after Earworms Rapid French Volume 1.
Having already tried out Volume 1, I found that Volume 2 was at a faster pace and learning much longer phrases. Again, we meet native French presenters as in Volume 1 and with the same method of learning the French language via rhythmic music for 70 minutes. We hear techno, reggae, chilled out music and even echo effects that are quite catchy! It’s this catchy and melodic music that helps you to pick up the language quickly and also helps you to remember particular words and phrases. This is what Earworms calls the ‘accelerated learning technique’.
