Great start

Earworms is a great way to get started leaning a new language. It would be extremely helpful for a trip to a foreign country. The only down side is that it only has 3 volumes for the language i am learning. Maybe there is more depth in some other languages. It is enjoyable and convenient and it works.

The easy way to learn a language

I have used Earworms to learn a couple of languages. I have found the method to be very easy and efficient - I just repeatedly listen to the tracks, and the words worm their way into my brain.
Accompanying the spoken material is an incredibly useful booklet which reinforces the learning.
If I could I would give Earworms six stars just for their amazing customer support, who go above and beyond every time.

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5 stars, we really appreciate it. 🙏🙏🙏 It’s great to hear you’ve used Earworms across a couple of languages and that the method is working so well for you. That “earworms” effect you describe, where the phrases stick through repeated listening, is exactly what we aim for. We’re also really pleased you’ve found the booklet helpful alongside the audio, it’s designed to reinforce everything you’re hearing. And thank you for your kind words about our support, that genuinely means a lot to us as a small independent team. Thanks again for your support. ~ Maria 🙏❤️🎵

Tracks good booklet hopeless

I’ve tried a number of these and they are great for learning ‘holiday’ languages….. but the accompanying booklets are hopeless. Awful to read on a phone screen, terrible to print out and even worse to reformat into something useful.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and I’m really glad to hear you’ve found our courses helpful for learning, and that you've purchased a number of them 🙂. You’re absolutely right that some of our older booklet layouts were originally designed for printed CD inserts rather than phone screens, and we recognise that they don’t always translate perfectly to modern devices or home printing. Improving this is something we’re actively working on at the moment, with updated formats being optimised for both mobile reading and easier printing. If you’d like, feel free to contact me directly via our website (https://www.earwormslearning.com/contact). If updated versions of the titles you’re using are ready, I’ll happily send them to you by email, or fast-track them where possible. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, feedback like this genuinely helps us improve. Wishing you a lovely weekend full of of great music ~ Maria 🎶 ❤️ 🌎

The best

I have tried several language learning systems and had very little success. Since using Earworms I’m using Italian in everyday conversations after only a few lessons. If you are serious about learning a language and want an easy, almost effortless method - invest in Earworms.

Thank you so much, Anthony, this truly means a lot to us 🙏 We love hearing when the method starts showing up in real everyday conversations, that’s exactly what Earworms was designed for, helping learners speak naturally without feeling like they’re studying. It’s wonderful to know the music, rhythm, and repetition are working for you. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and support for a small independent company like ours. Wishing you continued success with your Italian and many more confident conversations ahead. ~ Maria 🙏❤️🇮🇹❤️🎵

Fantastic learning method, and the best customer support!

Fantastic app and a great way to learn. I was disappointed when I originally purchased and the app was retired. Reaching out to the helpful customer service team was the best decision. They were so helpful and I’m back on my learning journey. Thank you so much, y’all are aces! c:

Great program and fantastic customer service

I have enjoyed learning Italian with this method. It is simple and easy to use. The repetition helps me to remember words and phrases like no other program I have tried and I have tried plenty of others. The customer support is the BEST I have ever used. Quick and efficient and very personable. Maria was able to explain the difference between the Audible books and the App. You could tell by the response that they truly care about their users. Bravo!

Great way to start Polish

I have tried many times to learn basic Polish with various traditional and online methods but i have found the process is hard. With Ear worms I have found it much easier and my pronunciation and confidence is better. The team have done a great job in making learning conversational Polish fun and enjoyable and the method is simple and easy to use even with 15 minutes a day. I can now communicate in basic Polish with my Girlfriend and her family and this is transforming my visits to Poland. I like the fact Ear worms covers topics you will actually use and common words that you can integrate into other sentences. The music and presenters are also calm and relaxed making it a fun and enjoyable experience that doesn’t feel like hard work. I thoroughly recommend Ear worms if you have found learning Polish difficult.
I sincerely hope the Ear worms team bring out a level 2 Polish so I can continue to improve.

Great way to learn a new language!

The Turkish Vol. 1 has been so helpful for me as an absolute beginner! The chapters are fun to listen to, and the voices and lessons are easy to understand and remember. After listening for just a week, I am able to speak short sentences and understand sentence structure! Would love for there to be more Turkish volumes! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Earworms app - Turkish ! It’s fantastic to hear how quickly Turkish Vol. 1 has helped you start speaking and building confidence as a beginner. Learning is the side effect of listening to Earworms courses . And, listening let’s face it is easy, so just keep listening! Your request for more Turkish is noted, we’ve bumped it up our priority demand list. Reviews like yours really do shape what we create next. Thanks again for yours. ~ Maria 🙏❤️🇹🇷❤️🎵

A must-have language learning tool!

As an aspiring polyglot I’m always on the lookout for new language learning resources that are effective and enjoyable. My two personal favourite techniques are spaced repetition and music mnemonics, and for the latter, Earworms has been my go-to tool for many years now. I’ve used it to help learn German, Italian and recently Arabic, and I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing Hindi and Finnish being added to their list of languages offered.
My two favourite qualities of Earworms are that it helps me remember words and pronunciations super fast and that’s it’s genuinely fun! It puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it! Eine Flasche Rotwein will be in my brain forever I think!! 😄
I highly recommend Earworms to anyone serious about learning one or more new languages.

Works for Me

Visiting Portugal in September and wanted to learn polite and useful phrases. The rhythmic Earworms style clicked with me. Began listening on my morning walks and started to pick up phrases and my pace. I am retaining through repetition. Customer service is really good. An actual human answers the email with helpful and thorough information.
Overall a very good experience.

Hi Ken, thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I remember helping you, and it’s so lovely to see your kind words here. You’ve made my day! It’s brilliant to hear that the Earworms rhythm clicked with you and that you're picking up useful phrases for your trip to Portugal. Morning walks are such a great time to let the language sink in. And yes, you’re spot on. Actual humans do read and respond to every enquiry. We may be a small company, but that means we get to build real connections with learners like you. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and all the best for your trip in September. Portuguese phrases at the ready! ~ Maria 🙏❤️🇵🇹❤️🎵

A novel idea…

But some of the worst execution. It’s clear each ‘“song” was written by a teacher instead of an actual musician, the “singers’” lack of vocal prowess also makes it hard to listen to. If they just wrote actual catchy songs worth listening to that tell a proper story using simple words, it would definitely be effective.

Fun and effective

I love love love this learning method! Unlike one other music-enhanced audiobook that just rattled off a bunch of action words, Andrew and Filomena walk you through practical phrases, helping you to piece the words together until you have a sentence. They have great voices, and it's cute how they sound like they're enjoying the gelato part. These are phrases I'll definitely use (except for the non parlo Italiano, as I WILL know some Italian!). One particularly neat aspects is that I'll wake up some mornings with a phrase in my head that's imprinted without me even having to work at it. I highly recommend this program for fun, easy learning!
I’m just starting volume 2.

Also, the customer service was amazing. Maria gave me Quick answers and was so personable . One tip is to download all the tracks so it will keep playing after the phone goes to sleep.
