Publisher's Summary:
Use your mind's natural rhythm to learn a language with Rhythms Easy Quechua from EuroTalk.
It's naturally easier to learn something when it's set to rhythmic music, so that is exactly what we've done. Rhythms put your mind painlessly to work: you don't even need to focus! Simple words and phrases are set to a varied pattern of rhythms and music designed to help you learn and to keep you engaged so that you won't just switch off after five minutes. It won't get you fluent, but it will give you an easy road into starting to learn a completely new language.
If you just want a few simple words and phrases before going abroad, Rhythms is all you need. It covers absolute essentials such as how to greet people, basic directions, getting around, food and drink. You'll hear Quechua spoken by both a male and a female native speaker and there will be plenty of opportunity for you to test how well you're doing with the review stages built in at key points in each track.
Rhythms can be used anytime, anywhere; listen in the car or on the train, walking the dog, doing housework or exercising at the gym. Absorbing a language couldn't be easier and EuroTalk Rhythms has over 120 different languages to choose from.
Critic Reviews:
From our customer reviews: Finding out about EuroTalk has allowed me to try and learn the language at my own pace and in my own time. I do not have to wait for a private tutor or for a college to open its doors. I just cant believe I have progressed as far as I have in such a short space of time. A great starting point for anyone of any age at all. It makes language fun instead of dull or intimidating. Made learning a pleasure.
Members Reviews:
Laughable but.... OK!
OK, so the language lesson is "set to music"... but only in the sense that there is some cheesy synthesized music in the background that has NOTHING to do with the language part. The music has rhythm, I guess... but that rhythm has nothing to do with the rhythm, timing, or subject of the spoken phrases.
The recording of the voices is not great, but suffices... I guess the recording quality is masked somewhat by the cheesy music.
However, this indeed has a decent amount of material pronounced by native speakers, which is rare; and the content is not too bad compared to what else is out there. Some of the translations are funny, because this is obviously taking stock phrases used for Western languages and providing rough Quechua translations.... and things often either don't translate, or don't work culturally when translated. But they're amusing, especially if you already speak Quechua! ("Maypi warmi jisp'anapaq"!)
For those interested, the dialect is not specified, and there's not enough material to be certain, but I'd place it as somewhere between Bolivian and Cusco dialects, and at this basic level, useful for both areas.
So... many aspects are laughable... but at the same time, a useful and rare resource, especially at the price! Wish there were an option to not have the music... but... well... i CAN'T say it grows on you, but you can learn to ignore it. Well, sorta. Kinda.
Pisi qolqepaq, imaraykuchus manari?
