Short and melodic

It was way shorter than what I was hoping for. my husband picked it out and I was shocked to find it was only 1 hour long. Guess I will find my own long book next time. the melody was weird but then ok.

Great Introduction

If you are a lover of all music this will be a great start for the the love of music and French.

Very Helpful

Any additional comments?

If you lack the time to go through an entire book or class, I'm sure this will help you. As the Name suggest "Rapid French". I found both volumes to be very helpful.

Great for review !

It's informal and a relaxed and easy lessons. This was a great review of the basics.

Interesting way to learn French

Very interesting way to learn a foreign language. Will need to listen a number of times to retain the information.

Also Good Fun...

I think the other reviewers are right on with their reviews. However, I am so excited about this listen that I couldn't help but add my 2 cents. While I speak 2 other languages besides English, I never find learning a new language painless -- or more importantly fun. But as I visit Paris quite frequently, and have yet never mangaged to pick up a word of French, I decided to download this (based mostly on the recommendations of the other reviewers) and give it a try before my next visit. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a painless and fun way to learn basic conversational French. The phrases are spoken over a music track (which really helps keep your attention and the phrases in your mind) in a dialouge format (between an English speaker learning basic French and a French speaker) and the chemistry between the speakers is engaging. What I also found useful was that the English speaker sometimes makes mistakes in pronounciation which are corrected by the French speaker and this made me feel both less worried about making mistakes and better able to hear that I was making similar mistakes in pronounciation. This is truly a fun and useful listen and I give it 5 stars up.

An innovative approach to learning a new language

With my holiday to Paris fast approaching and absolutely no knowledge of the French language, I went searching for a technique that would enable me, in a very short time, to understand and speak basic French.

Thankfully, I found Earworms Learning and at the rate I am learning Rapid French (Vol 1), am already confident I will be ready to move onto Rapid French (Vol 2) before I travel to Paris.

This innovative technique takes the listener through a number of ‘songs’ – background music to a series of phrases spoken in a repetitive, rhythmic fashion. The combination of music and words seems to embed the phrases into the listener’s memory thereby accelerating the learning process. Supporting the spoken word is a booklet which outlines each of the phrases in English and French as well as phonetically to help with pronunciation. For me, this booklet has also greatly assisted my learning by providing a visual connection to each of the phrases.

Not only am I excited about travelling to Paris for the very first time, but am now also very keen to try out my new language skills with the locals.

Rapid French: Volume 1

This was a very helpful CD. I was going to France in one week.... I learned enough key phrases to get me through the basics. I liked the music with the words, in the sense that they help with the flow and the cadence of the phrases. I highly recommend it. I did not learn all of the CD in a week, but a lot more that some other tapes I had tried to listened to. If you have a month you really will be satisfied.

Helpful!

Great to listen to in the background at work. Pleasant voices. Helpful vocabulary choices. Enjoyable!

Great for Quick Pick Up

Helps so much, simplifies and and consolidates info and repetitive enough to help you remember and get speaking!
