RAPID RUSSIAN VOL. 1
Berlitz Earworms
© Marc Wickert November 14, 2010
[...]
I spend a great many hours each week on the road, so 18 months ago I decided to utilize my time behind the wheel as productively as possible by learning a new language - Russian.
The Berlitz Earworms learning technique is by far the most student-friendly CD system for me. I tried other CD language products, but found them too difficult and distracting whilst driving.
There is an included phrase book one can refer to; however the secret to "Rapid Russian Vol. 1" by Earworms is that by simply listening to these essential words and phrases, they are "burned deeply into your long-term memory in next to no time."
KEY POINTS TO EARWORMS MUSICAL BRAIN TRAINER:
* Effortless, enjoyable and effective
* Essential phrases for your trip abroad
* Words anchored deeply into your memory by gentle repetition to music
* Stimulating and self-motivating through real rapid progress
* Developed by language teaching experts
* Target language spoken by native speakers
* Pronunciation acquired automatically
* Listen and learn, anytime, anywhere: in the car, while jogging...
* Phrase book included
Another feature of "Rapid Russian Vol. 1" I really enjoy is the jovial personalities of the speakers - something I found sadly missing in other audio systems. When you spend a lot of time learning a new language, you want it to be an enjoyable experience, and not in a classroom-style setting where you are continually being tested and scrutinized by a condescending teacher.
Marlon Lodge (English voice) and Tatyana Komova (Russian voice) make learning Russian a lot of fun and something you are likely to stick with. Because you continually play the CD over and over to improve your Russian language skills, it is essential that the material you are listening to is listener friendly and fun.
As Earworms creator, Marlon Lodge, explains in the accompanying phrase book: "Simply by listening to these specifically composed melodies with their rhythmic repetitions of Russian and English a few times, the sound patterns are indelibly burned into your auditory cortex. You will have successfully learned the Russian phrase and have the correct accent ringing in your ears. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing: while jogging, in the car, in the bath, doing the ironing... you can be learning Russian at the same time!"
"Rapid Russian Vol. 1" starts the student off with basic tourist-type words and phrases that one is likely to use and hear when visiting Russia for the first time, which makes the CD very practical for traveling.
