Background music is too distracting.

Would you try another book from Earworms Learning and/or Marlon Lodge?

I like the concept but the execution here just doesn't work for me. I went with this based off ratings, but this is just too distracting for me.

the background music is to loud

I thought the overall language development was really good but the background music was so loud it was hard to understand the performers.

Terrible background music

There is a background music that makes hearing the language lesson. If that wasn’t there this might be better. I wish I could get my money back.

CONSIDER ANOTHER BOOK FIRST!!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I thought the idea of music in the background was great based on other reviews HOWEVER the music is louder than the voices and you can't hear the speaker enunciate to tell how you are supposed to pronounce this new, foreign language word for the first time ever. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED and wish I hadn't wasted $$ on this selection.

What could Earworms Learning have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

turn down the music please!! geez, we're trying to learn a new language hear not recite poetry in a coffee shop!

How could the performance have been better?

speakers themselves were not clear enough.

Rapid German

The concept of the the book is great, but I found it very hard to pay attention due to the monotone of the speaker and her very sharp SSSS es. I had set the tone control for more bass.

Earworms - You can do better

Any additional comments?

Content is fine as is with most Earworms. However, terrible mixing of the music and dialog in this Earworms book. It makes it very hard to hear the individual words and syllables. Unlike other Earworms books, I wish I could get a version with out the music; in this case it is not a plus.
