In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Story
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Wow, I am impressed!
I have just gotten back from Germany and I have to testify - this program was a Godsend! I could talk to everyone and they not only understood me, they remarked that my German was very good! I was blown away not only by how easily and effortlessly the recorded phrases came back to me, but how I was able to integrate the phrases with the limited vocabulary and grammar that I already possessed. I have tried MANY language programs in the past and never have I found one this effective - AND it's enjoyable to use, too. I believe this program mimics certain aspects of how we naturally learn our mother tongues - by hearing others repeat the same words and phrases over and over, then by repeating them ourselves. I can't wait for volume 2 and strongly recommend this program to anyone wondering which one to purchase.

Great tool for beginners
This is a great tool for beginners. I consider myself an intermediate speaker, but even I learned a thing or two from this just because I don't have an opportunity to practice with native speakers.
The music is nice and the language tracks are memorable without being too repetitive. All in all, I'm happy to have this, but I eagerly await levels 3, 4, and 5. I also plan to use Earworms when it comes time to improve my weaker languages, like French. Thanks for a great product.

Instructionally pretty solid
As someone who teaches graduate students how to create well-designed instructional materials, and who has had to learn 2 foreign languages over 20 years (no, high school French and Spanish don't count) I always approach language "tapes" with a bit of trepidation. However, I found this audio lesson reasonably well constructed. For the most part, I found the music engaging and it helped maintain my interest in the lessons. The only drawback I experienced was that on 3 or 4 occasions, the music made it difficult for my ear to pick out the exact consonants used in a few words. A quick flip to my old German texts resolved the issue but some may not have that option. In any case, I believe this is a worthwhile introduction (or review) but having a reference nearby would be handy.

Fun Fun To Learn as you participate
What made the experience of listening to Rapid German the most enjoyable?
The background music and the back and forth interaction with the English speaker and the translator makes the experience very much enjoyable.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Both persons where essential in making this listen as interactive and as enjoyable as it is.
What about Marlon Lodge’s performance did you like?
The way he plays the role as if he is actually new to information and is actually learning
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I wouldn't say 'moved' but I actually learn and retain the information well after a few listens of selected parts. It is also very cool that a PDF accompanies this audiobook so that you can actually follow and get the correct spelling as well as the pronunciation.
Any additional comments?
I would highly recommend all the Rapid learning series to listeners interested in learning from scratch or even brush up on a particular language. Also a great edition for travelers.

Great intro to phrases
This book was easy to follow, easy to remember, and gave me a good deal of phrases that I can build upon as I learn more words. For me, that is important. Learning a word leaves my mind, but learning how to ask "Where is ..?", "I'd like ....", etc., gave me the basis to move forward with confidence. I will definitely be reviewing it again. However, I'm surprised of how much I remember after my first excursion through the course. The music makes me remember it better, and the pronounciation was clear. I ordered several intro books, and this is my favorite. It is also the first I listened to (and the one I got the most out of).

A great way to learn!
What a fantastic way to learn some basic German. The English and German speakers' voices speak in cadence with background jazz tunes that keep the learning fun and well paced. The phrases have mix-n-match appeal, so I've been able to extend my learning beyond what was explicitly taught.
Having listened to other samples with silence in the background, I can't say enough about the value of the musical background to help pass the time while working through the exercises.
The downloadable pdf document is nearly 100% matched to the dialog.
I am SO looking forward to Rapid German 2 and 3, which I hope will be available soon.

This really works!
Amazing! Three days with the Earworms lessons, and I'm starting to remember stuff I learned in college! The music in the background, the rhythmic cadences of speech, and the conversation between the male and female voices hold my attention and I am retaining the lessons. My daughter is experiencing the same thing. The free booklet helps with some of the more difficult words. I like the way they dive right into the practical stuff, like how to order a cup of coffee, or ask directions. We love this audiobook!
