earworms mbt© Rapid French puts the words and

phrases you need not just on the tip of your tongue, but

also transports them deeply into your long-term memory.

Simply by listening to these specially composed melodies

with their rhythmic repetitions of French and English a few

times, the sound patterns are indelibly burned into your

auditory cortex. You will have successfully learned the

French phrase and have the correct accent ringing in your

ears. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing: While

jogging, in the car, in the bath, doing the ironing - you can

be learning French at the same time!

earworms mbt© Rapid Languages is the first language

course to get your toe tapping.

You know the phenomena of those catchy tunes or

earworms that you just can't get out of your head?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? Well, earworms

mbt© has put this phenomena to positive use. Gone are

the days of learning pressure and frustration at not

being able to remember, the experience of many on

conventional language courses. In combination with

music, the phrases you need are automatically anchored

deeply into your memory, ready for instant recall.

Music is the key

The idea is as simple as it is old. Before the age of writing,

ancient historical events were recorded in verse and song

form for easy memorisation. In his book 'Songlines'

Bruce Chatwin describes how the Australian Aborigines

were able to navigate their way across hundreds of miles

of desert to their ancestral hunting grounds without maps.

And how? The extensive lyrics of their traditional songs

were exact descriptions of the routes!

Rhythm and words i.e. song and verse have always been

a very powerful memory aid, and this is supported by

recent scientific research. The advertising industry knows

only too well how powerful music can be in getting

the message across with brainwashing-like jingles and

soundbites.

It really works!

Developed and used over years in the classroom,

earworms mbt© Rapid Languages has shown

phenomenal success. In tests pupils using this technique

regularly get average marks of over 90% compared to less

than 50% with conventional book based learning.

Why hasn't music been used more in education up to

now? Imagine kids at school getting a CD of hip hop

songs with all the historical dates they have to learn, or all

the irregular verbs they have to learn! Wouldn't that make

their (and teachers') school lives much easier, much

more fun, much more successful?

What you get

Volume 1 dealt with the essentials for your

visit abroad, looking at typical situations: taking a taxi,

at the hotel, at the restaurant, requesting, polite phrases,

finding your way, numbers, dealing with problems and

so on. Volume 2 will have you engaging in dialogue about

yourself, the past, the present and future, and provide

language to cover further typical situations that you may

find yourself in. The themes follow closely the Common

European Framework for language learning, a recognised

benchmark of language proficiency, and the emphasis is

constantly on usefulness to the learner.

Memory hooks

This booklet contains all the words and phrases spoken

on the CD, both English and French, giving you extra

visual input. Additionally, on the CD we sometimes slip in

memory hooks to spark your imagination and aid your

memory. Memory hooks are for example, if you want to

memorise the French word for maybe = peut-être, think of:

“Maybe potatoes for dinner? - peut-être pot-atoes!” - and

you will easily remember. More examples of these can be

found on the earworms website, and they serve as a

starter pack to inspire you to develop your own ideas.

How to use earworms: Don't think, just listen!

Sit back, relax and groove along to the melodies without

trying to listen too hard. Treat them as songs you hear on

the radio. Our recommendation is that you do familiarise

yourself with the written words in the booklet - at least

the first time you listen.

After listening several times, playfully test yourself -

cover up the English side of the phrase book and see

how many words and phrases you remember!
