Useful and engaging. Uses natural interaction between an actor playing a non-Japanese speaker, who gently asks questions of a native speaker, set to calming music. There's sufficient repetition to allow the phrases to sink in. It feels natural and organic, the conversations unfold as you'd want them to if you were the non-native yourself. It's extremely effective and enjoyable to listen to. Well worth the price.

A pleasant audiobook and intro into Japanese. The speakers are clear and the background music is not obtrusive. My complaint though is that there are only a few variations on some spoken situations, and some pronunciation variations are never explained. For example; the female speaker almost always pronounces the 'u' in 'desu', while the male speaker doesn't, but they don't say why. And there are quite a few occurrences of this. Also seems short overall.

About the author

Earworms MBT is an accelerated learning technique that takes a new and innovative approach to language learning. Based on the science behind catchy songs that become stuck in one’s head (the auditory cortex), Earworms works by pairing melodic music with soft-spoken foreign words, phrases, and their translations. The result is an incredibly effective method for learning conversational foreign languages by simply listening.

Marlon Lodge, the founder codirector of Earworms Learning, is an author, linguist, and language trainer of many years’ experience. He lives and works in Düsseldorf.
