not easy

I'm still sturggling with learning Mandarn, but did not find this course that easy. Dowloading the booklet helped, but still... its the tones you need the ear and some knowledge of the hanyu pinyin "alphabet" to try to make sense of how to make the sounds.

If you don't have a teacher then good luck, this is the best I've tried so far. Zai jian!

This has made me interested in learning languages!

It is truly great and the speaking was crystal clear, along with the great breakdown of the langauge and it is really useful for those who are going to China for a short holiday ( anything less than 2 weeks ) as it has all the things you will need to know such as getting drinks and food, asking where things are ( Tainanmen square , etc) and public transport.

I would give this my highest recommendation.

Great! But, next?

What made the experience of listening to Mandarin Easy Learning Audio Course the most enjoyable?

Great quality, not too fast, too slow, well explained

Any additional comments?

I really wish they had a more advanced audio book made the same way. Maybe it will come. I really hope so.

Title: Rapid Mandarin Chinese, Vol. 2

Author: Earworms Learning

Narrator: Marlon Lodge

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-27-08

Publisher: Earworms (mbt) Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Language Instruction, Other Languages

Publisher's Summary:

By listening a few times to these specially composed melodies, with their rhythmic repetitions of Chinese and English, you will pick up over 200 essential words and phrases that will not just be on the tip of your tongue but burned deeply into your long-term memory in next to no time.

If you like music, and want to make rapid progress without any formal knowledge of language learning, Earworms mbt Rapid Mandarin is the course for you.

Volume 1 was your survival kit of essential words and phrases to get you by on your trip abroad. Volume 2 will have you talking about yourself (past, present, and future), chatting, and even flirting!

Members Reviews:

Very good.

Very good, similar to volume 1. Has some better songs than 1 and builds on some material that was learn in volume 1 which helps. There IS text to this also. My only complaint is the limited number of volumes available now.

Reasonable course, occasional music mismatch

The content and presentation of this course is reasonable, although the music underscore sometimes gets a little funky and isn't always well matched to the spoken word. It can become irritating listening over and over, as you need to be able to do for long-term recall.

Extremely disappointed

I find this download almost useless as there is no text provided with the download. If this is typical of the audio downloads there will never be another for me.

Part 2

This is part two of the course. This course uses a music background with a native and English speaker going over Chinese phrases and words. The course tends to provide a sentence, in English, and then in Chinese and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. The course is similar to the other earworms courses, and if you liked one of the others I imagine you'll like this one.

It's not a bad idea, although the tunes are not that great, I find that I can recall some of the sentences. A good supplement for learning, or for a quick fix before heading on holiday but it is not a good standalone course.

Actually really good and I tried so many

I've tried many audio formats to learn mandarin over the years and have found this one to easy and fun. I wasn't expecting so much content in terms of vocabulary. I've used Pimsluer to learn in the past, which is very good for beginners to advanced but it very repetitive and boring at times so I stopped listening. Earworm however builds in the same way through timed repetition but with music which makes it easier to remember. Some times I actually stick it on to chill out like you would music but then I'm actually learning too. Definitely one of the top performers for beginners of all levels. I brought one and two even though I am probably beyond beginner and I'm glad I did.

Careful

Listenable, but don't be taken in by the "guide" offered with file. That is only a table of contents - not any printed Greek.

Simple and effective

This is a useful audiobook. It is relevant to visitors to Greece as the phrases deal with the kind of basic questions visitors need to ask. Everything is in English followed by slow and then normal speed Greek, making it easy to learn.

Very Helpfull

This audiobook has been very helpfull. Though the words are not grouped together, in all it will give you a very usefull basic vocabulary but it is not, and doesn't claim to be, a substitute for a language course.

Random and Unusable Presentation

I wanted to learn simple words and phrases. The information is presented in a random and unusable fashion. The words are not grouped together and there is no apparent organization of the material. I do not recommend this title unless the user has a basic knowledge of the language and needs help in pronunciation.

The music...

The #@%$#^ music in the background is just too distracting to be able to absorb even a modicum of the language.

Note to editors: those of us who desire to learn a language aren't in the market for background music.

Note to potential purchasers: save your $$$

What is the use of this?

It is hard to imagine what one might use this for. Just random lists of words spoken quickly and often unintelligbly.

Don't Buy this

This is the absolute worst way to learn a language. It is randomly chosen vocabulary words without contrast, spoken without clear enunciation and annoying muzak in the background. By the time you begin to pronounce one word, the next is fired at you. In addition the words are often rediculous....phrases like "the hope". the chainsaw......

Arabic tutorial

Much too slow, and who needs all that western classical music filling up space. If it's going to be so basic, it should explain articles in Arabic so listener knows what it's listening to re single words. Try again.

Useful for intermediate students

If you've had at least a year of Arabic or two years this is a useful exercise tape. It's also worthwhile to look for a used version with the book. This is Levantine Arabic with mostly (though not always) G enunciation of the Qaaf. Sometimes odd choices for translation are made but even then it is useful reminder of a different translation. Not useful as a beginning tool - only as an exercise for an intermediate student.

The jury's out ...

I'm an American who has been speaking German for over 30 years. I am able to read Dutch but had no idea how to speak it. This was the only course available on CD, so I figured, what the heck, and bought it. I played it at various times during my car journey from Michigan to Pennsylvania. I've now learned that what you see (as in reading) is not what you get (as in saying the written words)! I almost always wanted to refer to the little booklet that comes with the CD, which is a mean feat if one is steering a car. It would have been better in an airplane, I guess. All in all, I thought the American voice went on and on for too long, and Dutch wasn't spoken nearly enough. I've studied other foreign languages through other methods, and I find this particular entry to be very weak, although the German section in this series is pretty good.

There is a free audioscript by the publisher

Any additional comments?

If you want to read along in order to help you figure out what the audio is saying, go to the Living Language (the publisher of this audio) webpage. Go to free resources and midway down on the right toolbar of the Living Language website is a link to the Audio Scripts: In-Flight programs. Click that and it takes you to pdfs of the audio scripts.

It really helps me to see the phrases written out to help me decide if I am hearing a "P", or a "D", and so on.

I have not listened to Dutch yet, and had a lot of trouble finding the pdf, so thought I would go ahead and share this tip in time for visiting spring tulip fields in the Netherlands. I really liked In-flight French, and expect to like this one also, now that I can read along. Enjoy

Perfect

This will give you all the basic phrases that you need. It is not near as annoying at some language learning audio.

Super-sonic Dutch

This started promisingly but then went way too fast. A phrase is said only once, you've got 2 seconds to say it yourself and then you're on to the next phrase, no chance to check your pronunciation or here it again .If I could send it back and get a refund I would.

In-Flight Korean is a Weak Learning Tool

The rate of speaking is too far fast for a beginner, difficult to understand and futher complicated because no pronunciation assistance or background is provided.

Not so good :(

Phrases are read once and only once. Phrases consisting of more than five syllables are very difficult to pick apart. The Korean phrase for "What is your name?" would be very handy, but I'm still not able to discern what the speaker is saying. I think this would be a nice refresher to someone whose Korean had not been practiced in a while. Other than that, avoid this title.

Frustrating, unlikely to be useful.

I had to try "In-Flight Korean" myself. I did listen to it on my way to Korea, but I found it too frustrating to learn from. The pronunciation was too fast for an English speaker to be able to absorb. Nothing was repeated.

Not Helpful for first time learners

In-Flight Hebrew is not useful for learning and understanding the language. It "teaches" you in long sentances and most of the time you do not even know what the individual words you are saying mean. This, combine with the lack of repetition means it is very hard to retain knowledge from this audio book. I purchased both this one, and the Primsler's one. I initially tried to start learning with this, and quickly gave up as it would say something in English, repeat it in Hebrew, and then pause just long enough for you to repeat what was said. Then they would move on to the next saying. I found myself needing to rewind and listen carefully to what was said in Hebrew over and over to be able to repeat it correctly. This annoyance, combine with not really "learning" what I was saying made me stop trying with this one after about 5 minutes. I did go back after completeing the first Primsler's book, and found it easier to understand and repeat, but this one is not going to teach you on your flight over as it claims. You might be able to memorize a few of the sayings, but you would find it very hard to understand anyone answering you which really should be what your goal is in learning a new languange.

Not very useful

I tried several quick Hebrew audio courses, just to get a few basic words and phrases, while working in Jerusalem for a few months last. I thought this was the weakest and most confusing of them, I don't recommend it.

Good intro to Hebrew but learn some grammar too

Good choice of words and phrases. Pronunciation is native Israeli so if you can hear it you can master it with some practice. The choice of material is good including both essential phrases and more esoteric stuff for making conversation.

Plan to listen to it about 8 times for any material to take - so don't expect to listen to it on the plane and be an expert in an hour.

Some caution should be taken - this audio title doesn't teach you the basics of grammar, only words and phrases. For example, you might miss the fact that most of the verbs are said in the female form.

In addition, it has American influences: For example, Ham does not feature all that highly in Israel so you might not bother learning that in the food section even if there is a word for it.

In all, I would say this is a very useful audiobook and your effort will be appreciated.
