Members Reviews:
No Tracks! Just one audio file!
Would you listen to Romanian Crash Course again? Why?
Yes. My problem is that, unlike the CD version, there are no chapters - just one huge audio file, so if I want to repeat a chapter, I have to use the slider in iTunes to try to find the beginning - what a pain!
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
This is a good "listen and repeat" and I have used language 30 for other languages in the past. However, they all had tracks so you could isolate or skip chapters.
What didnt you like about LANGUAGE/30s performance?
Should have separate files or some kind of markers for the sections. I tried to see if I could chop it up into sections with audacity, but of course, since it's an audible file, audacity can not open it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
NO! It's a language course! I want the ability to repeat a given chapter several times to memorize it and practice speaking without trying to find it with the iTunes slider!
NO CHAPTERS= NO GOOD.
What disappointed you about Romanian Crash Course?
There's just one long audio track. Unless you're a genius you'll find it difficult to skip back and replay parts.
Has Romanian Crash Course put you off other books in this genre?
No, just made them a lot better by comparison.
What didnt you like about LANGUAGE/30s performance?
It defeats learning a language by assuming everyone can withhold the vocabulary and pronunciation contained in a 1 hour 30 minute track.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger, sadness and disappointment. With a heavy hint of frustration that this can be sold in this way.
Any additional comments?
Do not download it. Get it in another format NOT this Audible version.
Best intro audio course I've found for Romanian
If you could sum up Romanian Crash Course in three words, what would they be?
Efficient, relevant, good value.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Romanian Crash Course?
not applicable.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Not enough time is allowed from giving the English phrase for you to try to anticipate the Romanian translation. Such anticipation is much better for developing your memory of the foreign phrase than merely hearing the Romanian phrase. The "Learn in Your Car" and Pimsleur materials do this much better. If there is ever a re-issue, longer pauses should be put in. Pimsleur (which is, however, much more expensive) also has much more repetition, which is also good for committing to memory.
